Rating the last 5 England coaches

#1 Ashley Giles (2012 to 2014, ODIs and T20Is only) - 7

Ashley Giles oversaw a brief spell as the coach of England's limited-overs teams

After having served as the Director of Cricket at Warwickshire, former England left-arm spinner Ashley Giles was appointed as the coach of the ODI as well as T20I teams in 2012 in order to reduce Flower's workload at the helm of affairs. Despite his excellent record with Warwickshire, England's fortunes in the limited overs formats did not pick up as expected and there was a general feeling that the team kept playing with outdated tactics.

Under Giles' coaching, England did reach the final of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy held at home. However, apart from that, there was not much else to cheer about for the seasoned stalwart. Giles paid the price for England's poor performance in the 2014 World T20. Stuart Broad's team lost three matches, including one against Netherlands.
