The former defender had a strange stint in charge of Azerbaijani club Gabala FC from May 2010 to November 2011.Īfter some time away from the game, he resurfaced in April 2017 to take over at La Liga strugglers Granada. After dismal displays at two English clubs, Adams went to try his luck abroad. But he was fired in February 2009 after a poor run of results saw the side pick up just 10 points in 16 games. The club was relegated to League Two in his first campaign before he resigned four months into his second.Īdams became the full-time manager at Portsmouth following the departure of Harry Redknapp. But his year in charge there saw dismal results. However, his attempts in the world of management leave much more to be desired.Īfter his retirement at the end of the 2001-02 season, Adams took a year away from football before resurfacing as manager of League One side Wycombe Wanderers. Tony Adams Embed from Getty ImagesĪ Premier League title-winning captain on two occasions with Arsenal, Tony Adams is still remembered as one of England’s greatest ever defenders. Instead, he moved back into television work where he has since remained. Once the 2008-09 season was over nobody was shocked when Shearer was not given the job permanently. They won just one game and collected five points from a possible 24. Newcastle ended up suffering relegation to the EFL Championship, with Shearer’s run as boss being one of the worst sequences of the club’s campaign. However, it’s safe to say that his brief foray into management certainly didn’t contribute to his stellar reputation. Still the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorer with a total of 260 strikes to his name with the likes of Blackburn and Newcastle, Alan Shearer is widely recognised as a genuine legend of the English game. Since then, he hasn’t gone back into management. It came as no surprise when Neville was fired in March 2016, after winning just three of 16 league games and keeping just one clean sheet. Unsurprisingly, Neville lasted just a handful of months at the Mestalla.ĭuring his time in charge, Valencia crashed out of the Champions League, went on a 10-game winless run in league competition and suffered a 7-0 thrashing in the Copa del Rey at the hands of Barcelona.
It was an odd appointment, to begin with considering he had no managerial experience and couldn’t speak Spanish. In December 2015 he was appointed as manager of La Liga side Valencia. This was the end of his time as a coach, but he is more well known for his short managerial career. Hodgson’s England was eliminated during the group stage at the 2014 World Cup and then lost in embarrassing fashion to Iceland at Euro 2016. From 2012 he became Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson’s assistant manager, but even that stint ended in disaster. The former Manchester United legend first made a foray into coaching with the England national team. It’s easy to forget that Neville also had a disastrous stint in management a few years ago. The right-back made 599 appearances for Manchester United and helped the red devils win 12 Premier League titles and 2 UCL titles among other trophies. Gary Neville is widely recognised as one of the best defenders of his generation and is now known as one of Sky Sports’ top pundits. The Liverpool legend has not taken a managerial role since. And it came as no surprise when he was fired after a horrific 5-0 loss to Millwall. Barnes led his side to just 3 wins in 12 games. That paved the way to Barnes taking a job as manager of League One side Tranmere Rovers – but once again, things ended in utter disaster. This was probably his most successful managerial term as he led the team to a 2008 Caribbean Cup win. But in 2008 he was appointed as the new boss of the Jamaica national team. It took him nearly a decade to find another job in management. Barnes was fired after just 29 games in charge, with the final straw being a 1-3 loss at home in the Scottish Cup to part-timers Inverness Caledonian Thistle. After hanging up his boots at the end of the 1998-99 season, Barnes stunned the football world by being announced as the new boss of Scottish giants Celtic. However, it soon became clear that he was out of his depth in Glasgow. However, his managerial career didn’t produce quite as much success.įor the most part, newly retired players moving into a manager role will look for experience at a lower level. The forward made 406 appearances for Liverpool and bagged 107 goals, 2 FA cups and 2 League titles. John Barnes was one of the most talented players to be produced by England in the 1980s.
