Who Chooses the Formation for a Team?
Formation for a team is usually chosen by the head coach (or manager, depending on the club or country). The coach decides the formation based on factors such as:
- The strengths and weaknesses of their players
- The opponent’s style of play
- The game situation (whether they need to attack more or defend more)
While assistant coaches, analysts, and even experienced players might give advice, the final call always belongs to the head coach of the team.
