Termination of an employment contract with a coach in the absence of a sports result: theoretical and practical aspects
The article considers the issues of dismissal of a coach in professional sports due to the lack of sports results. The law enforcement practice contains cases of such dismissals and the subsequent appeal of the employer's actions by the dismissed coaches. As a rule, the claims of such employees are satisfied by the courts. In the course of the research, the question is raised about the necessity to amend the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in terms of implementing rules that provide for the possibility of such dismissal. In particular, the author notes that from a legal and economic point of view, the inability of an employer to legally part with a coach who cannot lead a team to a high sports result entails a violation of the rights and interests of an unlimited number of persons: sponsors, fans purchasing tickets for matches, agencies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, allocating subsidies for the maintenance of the team, etc. In conclusion, we can note that it is advisable to include in the labor legislation the relevant rules that allow, firstly, to determine the sporting result for which the coach is hired in the employment contract with the coach, and, secondly, allowing the early termination of labor relationship in case a similar result is not achieved through the fault of the coach.
