5 great players who flopped as managers

#4 Edgar Davids

Davids' spell in charge of Barnet was memorable for all the wrong reasons

Davids’ time in management was a bit of a strange one. The Dutchman was a bit of a journeyman during his career, playing for nine different clubs in four different countries, including the likes of AC Milan, Barcelona, and Ajax. He also appeared 74 times for the Netherlands, scoring six goals.

In 2012, he surprisingly took over League Two side Barnet. Despite making a decent start, he was unable to save them from relegation in the 2012/13 season, and they dropped into the Conference. He was sent off three times in the first eight games of the following season, and in January 2014, he resigned as manager.
