The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of coach turnover in the final classification of soccer teams. Data were obtained from all games official overviews of 60 teams that played in the 2009 Paulista Football Championship in the 3 divisions. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation and linear regression. The results pointed to a total of 88 coaches exchange during the championship, with 24 in the A1 division, 36 in the A2 division and 28 in the A3 division. Only in the A1 division, there was a significant relationship (rho = 0.61, p = 0.003) between the coach exchange and the final classification, so being determined 37% the final classification (F = 10.48, p = 0.005). Although the coach exchange was a frequent event, for the A2 and A3 division the coach exchange had no relation to the team’s classification in the competition (r2 = 0.12, F = 2.42, p = 0.13 and R² = 0.01, F = 0.06, p = 0.81). It is concluded that, in the division A1 of the Paulista Football Championship of 2009, the smaller the number of coaches exchange, the better was the competitive classification of the teams.
