I don't understand manager contracts

Why wouldn't clubs include clauses in contracts allowing them to sack managers without having to pay compensation - if they finish outside the top 4, or get relegated, or fail to qualify for a tournament etc, depending on what your team's goals are. I'm always amazed when a manager has to be bought out of his contract, after a really poor season. Conte is the latest example, but that presumably is how managers like Pardew keep making money. They get paid to leave the club, even if they get the club relegated - it doesn't make sense to me. An international manager should be automatically fired without compensation if he fails to qualify for a tournament. Or even fails to get out of the group stages of a tournament if that is the minimum requirement of the country. Wouldn't it be sensible for a country's FA to include that kind of clause in the contract?

Because its silly to have clauses such as that. It doesn't work at all. That's why they don't have them.

I am assuming that if a contract contained all those sort of clauses then people just wouldn't sign them and go somewhere else that doesn't have those clauses.

Otherwise you would have to honour the opposite, I.E. If Manager B wins the Europa with Atletico then he can leave with no compensation to the club to manage Real

Except if ALL clubs had that kind of contract. Plus, top managers would still go to the biggest clubs, and would earn the most money. But if they failed they could be fired without consequence. I don't know why that should be such a strange idea. What seems more bizarre to me is that clubs have to pay failing managers to leave. Especially international managers. If a manager fails to get a team to a tournament they should be let go.
The alternative could be that if a manager succeeds they get paid more.

Im guessing other clubs wouldn't include such clauses in order to attract a manager over their rival, It would never work unless every club was made to include clauses by the powers above and that will never happen.
