We've already seen the role of the manager reduced due to data analysis, plus VAR turning the game into an exact science. The rise of AI will no doubt accelerate that process with the ability to analyse every recorded match in history against what is happening on the pitch in real time. I can imagine an American owner with no knowledge of the game whatsoever deciding not to bother at all with a manager, sat in the stands or on the other side of the world in front of a screen, consulting AI when to make subs or switch formation and tactics.
Could we ultimately reach an effective stalemate with almost every game ending in a draw between AI run clubs cancelling one another out?
Thanks for the reminder UTM, I ment to post this video a few weeks back about robots learning about football and AI!!
