This is a first in the world of football, and especially in Spain. The president of Real Sociedad, Jokin Aperribay, revealed that he consulted an artificial intelligence before appointing Pellegrino Matarazzo.
The recommendation turned out negative and thankfully was ultimately not followed by the leader!
The Basque leader told Cadena Ser: « I asked the AI if he was a good coach for Real Sociedad, it told me no. Fortunately I trusted my sporting director ».
As a result, the American coach has won the Copa del Rey and revived his team in the race for a European place (seventh in La Liga with 42 points).
In this regard, in some cases you must change human opinions even in the presence of artificial intelligence itself.
