5 of the poorest managerial tenures of all time

#3. David Platt

David Platt

David was an English midfielder who played for Juventus and other clubs. He had a great connection with the players and had strong managerial skills.

He joined Sampdoria in 1998-99 but was widely criticised for not possessing the appropriate qualifications to manage the Serie A side. He spent £12m on players such as Salvatore Matrecano and Gianluca Petrachi, which made him hugely unpopular.

He stayed there for 49 days before he was let go. Under his leadership, Sampdoria did not play a single match.
