A ranking of the ten worst managers in Premier League history based on average points earned per match has been compiled, featuring those who have managed at least 50 matches.
The lowest average belongs to Rob Edwards, who managed Luton and Wolverhampton, with just 0.68 points per game. Scott Parker, the new manager of West Ham, comes second with 0.70, while Mick McCarthy sits in third with 0.79.
The complete list of the worst managers is as follows:
