10) Felix Magath (Fulham)
Despite inheriting a side in total disarray anyway, Felix Magath fared extremely poorly at Fulham with a decent set of players, getting the club relegated after a long stay in the Premier League, before then struggling badly in the Championship as well.

9) Tony Adams (Portsmouth)
A legend as a player with Arsenal, but Tony Adams was one of a number of unsuccessful Portsmouth managers in the Premier League era, looking out of his depth at this level.
8) Mark Hughes (Manchester City)
After an up-and-down career with several mid-table Premier League sides, Mark Hughes continues to divide opinion as a top manager, but his spell at Manchester City was the shot at the big time that he blew, spending plenty of money on a number of poor signings such as Emmanuel Adebayor and Roque Santa Cruz and not getting the club anywhere near the top four.
7) Juande Ramos (Tottenham Hotspur)
Despite the rarity of a cup in for Tottenham Hotspur, Juande Ramos’ side showed relegation form in the Premier League and the Spaniard just had to go after a nightmare start to the 2008/09 season.
6) Paolo Di Canio (Sunderland)
Another former great as a player who couldn’t make it in Premier League management, Paolo Di Canio made plenty of enemies in a short spell at Sunderland, and awful results saw him sacked after only a few months.
5) Felipe Scolari (Chelsea)
Despite impressing with international sides Brazil and Portugal for a number of years, Felipe Scolari was far from convincing as a Premier League club manager, achieving some very poor results with Chelsea and failing to last the season.
4) Andre Villas-Boas (Chelsea)
Hailed as the next Jose Mourinho when he arrived, it’s fair to say Andre Villas-Boas was far from that as his questionable tactics saw Chelsea humiliated 5-3 at home by Arsenal and lose a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Manchester United. Unpopular with the players, AVB was eventually replaced and then didn’t do the most convincing job at Tottenham Hotspur either.
3) Roy Hodgson (Liverpool)
Another manager just not quite cut out for a big club, Roy Hodgson’s short-lived spell at Liverpool was very disappointing, despite his excellent work at Fulham previously. Now in charge of England, with mixed critics.
2) Kenny Dalglish (Liverpool)
The man who replaced Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish’s appointment at Anfield was not the smartest move as the club opted for a club legend over a more qualified option. The Scot blew huge money on the likes of Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam, and saw the team playing some its worst football in years, though he did deliver a League Cup win…on penalties against Cardiff City.
1) David Moyes (Manchester United)
Brought in to replace one of the best managers of all time in Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes had a lot to live up to, but that doesn’t excuse him from being perhaps the biggest managerial flop in memory. The former Everton boss never own over the Old Trafford crowd nor the dressing room, with his sides playing boring route one football and dropping from 1st to 7th in just a year.
