Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is statistically one of the worst managers that the Premier League has ever seen.
We’ve gone back to the start of the Premier League era and have ranked the 50 managers with the worst points per game record, who have managed a minimum of 25 games.
When using those stipulations, Amorim is statistically the 36th worst manager in Premier League history, with a miserable PPG record of just 1.00.
That’s a worse record than the likes of Roy Keane, Jesse Marsch, Gary O’Neil, Paul Lambert and Gareth Southgate.
While most of the managers on this list have made a name for themselves managing relegation-threatened sides, Amorim has had the luxury of managing one of the most expensively assembled squads in the league.
With United currently languishing in the bottom half of the table, the pressure is ramping up on the Portuguese boss.
“It is very difficult to sit here and say we are seeing progression, and at least we’re seeing things that will get results in the near future,” Wayne Rooney said on the latest episode of The Wayne Rooney Show.
“We’re seeing none of that, and it is very difficult. I think if the manager is honest with himself, it has got worse.”
According to this data, Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is the outright worst manager in Premier League history, with an average of 0.57 PPG to his name.
His two previous top-flight seasons with Norwich City have seriously damaged his record and he’ll be keen to prove the doubters wrong with Leeds this season.
Likewise, the current Burnley boss, Scott Parker, also ranks among the worst ever managers, with a PPG record of 0.77 in the top flight.
Other familiar faces in the top 10 include Vincent Kompany, Kieran McKenna, Rob Edwards, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mick McCarthy.
