Leeds United continue their fall from grace from the Marcelo Bielsa era to this period which has them staring at relegation in the Premier League. After only 11 matches Javi Gracia was sacked as manager and can be added with Jesse Marsch as two Leeds managers who failed to live up to expectations in the post Bielsa world.

Marsch, who coached the team from February 2022 to February 2023 only had a 29.7 winning percentage. Sam Allardyce is the club’s top choice to take over to try and salvage what has been a disastrous season for Leeds.

Gracia and Marsch enter the list of two of the worst managers in recent memory in the Premier League winning a combined 14 games of 49 played. Here are other managers who provided very little in the Premier League.
