Why do coaches get replaced?

Coaches are often replaced when a team underperforms, especially in major tournaments. Julian Nagelsmann's departure after Germany's World Cup last-32 exit is a clear example. National football associations, like the DFB, look for new leadership to revitalise the team and improve future results, leading to appointments like Jurgen Klopp's.
