What's Sylvinho's problem?

Firstly, Sylvinho is not a bad coach, but what is Sylvinho's problem?

Sylvinho has good training as a coach

After his retirement as a player, Sylvinho dedicated himself to his studies, already thinking about becoming a football coach.

The Corinthians coach's degree qualifies him to work for any team in the world.

In Brazil, for example, few coaches have it.

Sylvinho holds the A, B and PRO licenses from UEFA (Union of European Football Federations).

This license costs around R$ 20 thousand reais, with it Sylvinho can work in (Germany, Italy, France, England and Spain).

In addition to Sylvinho, Tiago Nunes also has the UEFA PRO license, and coincidentally, it didn't work out very well at Corinthians either.

As he studied and prepared, Sylvinho gained his place until he was invited to be Timão's coach.

What's Sylvinho's problem?

Hostage of your ideas

Coach Sylvinho, therefore, is someone who is prepared to occupy the position he is in.

But he seems to be a hostage to his ideas, and is unable to obtain tactical variations to adapt to the squad he has in his hands.

In other words, he wants to play with a center forward, if Jô isn't well, he puts Renato Augusto on, but doesn't change the system.

Even if it's going wrong, if Renato Augusto can't play there, or he puts Roger Guedes in, who has already said he doesn't like playing there.

Great coaches manage to get the best out of their squads, and they manage to adapt their game systems to get the best out of their teams.

Sylvinho seems to have learned just one way to play, and forces his squad to adapt to this system, because he doesn't know how to set up another.

Inexperience may be the factor here

However, his stubbornness in not changing his game system may be a reflection of his inexperience as a coach.

Sylvinho had little experience as a football coach when he arrived at Corinthians, the helm is his biggest job.

We know that he is learning many things in practice, the question is whether Corinthians is not too big for him.

Would Corinthians be the place to test? Or the helm needs a coach with experience to do the best with the squad he has in his hands.

Sometimes we can think about the team's growth, at the beginning of the championship there was talk of relegation, today it's Libertadores.

Is this improvement due to the coach, or to the arrival of great players like Roger Guedes, Renato Augusto and Giuliano?

So, what's Sylvinho's problem?

The coach's biggest problem is his inexperience, and his stubbornness in not changing the system and adapting to the squad he has in his hands.
