Out of the current crop of Premier League bosses, only five were in their current position for the start of the 2022\/23 season.<\/p>\n<p>Managers have short shelf lives, and here are the ten briefest tenures in\u00a0Premier League\u00a0history.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_gnmhodrmk\">10.\u00a0Claudio Ranieri (Fulham \u2013 106 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zb71yxrszxey8rrz.jpg\" alt=\"Claudio Ranieri\" title=\"Claudio Ranieri\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Ranieri had a couple of short reigns towards the end of his career \/ Steve Bardens\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>In truth, Ranieri did not need to carry on after overseeing the most improbable title triumph you and I are ever likely to see. Following his dismissal from Leicester, the veteran Italian soldiered on, but the end of his managerial career was littered with short stints before he rocked up at Cagliari for an emotional farewell.<\/p>\n<p>A 106-day reign at\u00a0Fulham\u00a0was among those forgettable spells.<\/p>\n<p>Having replaced Slavisa Jokanovic, the man responsible for returning the Cottagers to the Premier League, the Italian\u2019s task was an enviable one. Ranieri started brightly with a 3-2 win over Southampton, but that would prove to be just one of three wins he\u2019d oversee in charge of the club before getting the boot 17 games into his tenure.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_yr0c58xhw\">9.\u00a0Tony Adams (Portsmouth \u2013 106 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zb8e6nn4rkhgfmx4.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Adams, Jermaine Pennant\" title=\"Tony Adams, Jermaine Pennant\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Adams lasted barely 100 days at Portsmouth \/ Hamish Blair\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>A stellar captain during his playing days, some might\u2019ve suspected that Adams was cut out for management at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>His CV would prove those suggestions completely wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Adams initially served as Harry Redknapp\u2019s assistant at Portsmouth, helping lead a side that falls under the \u2018streets won\u2019t forget\u2019 category. He filled the head coaching vacancy as caretaker after Redknapp exited for Tottenham, before earning the job full-time in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>However, the former Arsenal stalwart lasted just four months into his two-and-a-half-year contract. His reign was fraught and chaotic having overseen just two wins from 16 games.<\/p>\n<p>Adams would call it quits on his managerial career following an ill-fated spell in charge of Granada eight years on from his Pompey dismissal.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_3irtfvx8e\">8.\u00a0Colin Todd (Derby County \u2013 98 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zbfcbqt4db0yhem8.jpg\" alt=\"Villa v Derby X\" title=\"Villa v Derby X\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Todd\u2019s managerial tenure at Derby failed to live up to his playing career \/ Ross Kinnaird\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Todd is regarded as one of Derby County\u2019s all-time greats. He lifted two First Division titles at the old Baseball Ground after the Rams, led by Brian Clough, paid a British record fee for a defender to sign him in 1971.<\/p>\n<p>The Derby legend returned to the touchline as Jim Smith\u2019s assistant in 2000, eventually filling the void after Smith moved on in October 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Todd, however, failed to inspire the Rams after a torrid start to the 2001\/02 Premier League season. He barely lasted three months in the role, losing 11 of the 17 games he oversaw.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fair to say Derby supporters look upon Todd\u2019s playing career with greater fondness.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_5v0yt2ow8\">7.\u00a0Nathan Jones (Southampton \u2013 95 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zbx47m2m9311rg1w.jpg\" alt=\"Nathan Jones\" title=\"Nathan Jones\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Jones\u2019 spell at St. Mary\u2019s was infamous \/ Robin Jones\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Jones forged quite the reputation at Luton Town as he helped the resource-shy Hatters compete towards the top of the second tier.<\/p>\n<p>His impressive work in the EFL saw him earn a Premier League gig at Southampton, but Jones\u2019 95-day reign on the south coast is regarded as perhaps the most comical in the division\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints boss quickly became unpalatable, with supporters finding it hard to get behind a manager seemingly incapable of taking responsibility. He\u2019d fight back against fan and media criticism with vague references to \u201cxG\u201d, and how the underlying numbers he oversaw at Luton rendered him one of Europe\u2019s brightest minds.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, Jones had taken charge of a sinking ship at St. Mary\u2019s and wasn\u2019t solely responsible for their demise, but his brief tenure was disastrous nonetheless. A 2-1 defeat at home to a ten-man Wolves proved to be the final nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_j2ayq9llv\">6.\u00a0Terry Connor (Wolves \u2013 91 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zc196z8m94xwajm4.jpg\" alt=\"Terry Connor\" title=\"Terry Connor\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Connor served as Mick McCarthy\u2019s assistant at Molineux \/ Gareth Copley\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Having served as Mick McCarthy\u2019s long-time assistant at Wolves, Connor was given the head coaching role in the wake of his boss\u2019 departure in February 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves were languishing in 18th when Connor took over, but the lack of a fresh face meant the West Midlanders struggled to enjoy a resurgence during the second half of the season. They lost seven straight soon after Connor\u2019s appointment and their relegation was confirmed in April having recorded just 25 points all season.<\/p>\n<p>Connor, who did well to last the remainder of 2011\/12, was not retained for the following season.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_t5usrrzao\">5.\u00a0Quique Sanchez Flores (Watford \u2013 85 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zc3217q9w92nsam1.jpg\" alt=\"Quique Sanchez Flores\" title=\"Quique Sanchez Flores\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Watford have rattled through their fair share of managers in recent years \/ Richard Heathcote\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an array of trigger-happy owners across the continent, but there may not be a group more content with churning through managers than the Pozzos.<\/p>\n<p>No manager is ever safe with this Italian family lurking over their shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Flores has proven to be one of the more successful Watford managers of recent times having guided the newly-promoted Hornets to an impressive mid-table position during the 2015\/16 Premier League campaign. Despite wildly overachieving, he left his post at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Flores returned three years later after Javi Gracia was sacked just a month into the 2019\/20 season. His stint on this occasion, though, was far less successful. An 8-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City early into his brief reign set the tone. The Pozzos were never going to stick by the Spaniard for long, and Flores departed less than three months into his comeback tenure having overseen just one win.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_jbwfgo1wg\">4.\u00a0Bob Bradley (Swansea \u2013 84 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zc490w4s8t0eyq4s.jpg\" alt=\"Bob Bradley\" title=\"Bob Bradley\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The American was not a success at Swansea \/ Michael Steele\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Bradley emerged as a pioneer in 2016 when he became the first American to manage in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>However, his appointment was met with plenty of scepticism among the Swansea fanbase, and their fears were quickly realised as Bradley struggled from the get-go in south Wales.<\/p>\n<p>Swansea\u2019s American owners initially handed Bradley their full backing, but even they couldn\u2019t stomach too much of the kamikaze football he oversaw. The Swans leaked goals at will and were able to secure just eight points from the 11 games Bradley led.<\/p>\n<p>He departed British shores as a parody figure, with many likely remembering him as \u2018Brad Bobley\u2019.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_ucsjkcxf9\">3.\u00a0Frank de Boer (Crystal Palace \u2013 77 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zb1rw3xrzq6fjg80.jpg\" alt=\"Frank de Boer\" title=\"Frank de Boer\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>De Boer was later ridiculed by Jose Mourinho for his Crystal Palace tenure \/ Alex Livesey\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read something, some quote from the worst manager in the history of the Premier League \u2013 Frank de Boer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman was on the receiving end of a trademark Jose Mourinho press conference assault, and, on this occasion, the Portuguese pragmatist wasn\u2019t too wide of the mark.<\/p>\n<p>De Boer ranks among the Premier League\u2019s worst-ever managers. The former outstanding defender opted to take on the beast of the English top flight as a means of rebounding from a woeful spell at Inter.\u00a0Crystal Palace\u00a0was his chosen destination, but De Boer didn\u2019t get enough time to enjoy the thrills and spills of south London.<\/p>\n<p>He lasted a mere 450 minutes in the Premier League with his Palace team, one he\u2019d later accuse of resisting his desire to implement a more proactive possession style, failing to score a single goal while De Boer marauded the touchline.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_2u3cgqopr\">2.\u00a0Rene Meulensteen (Fulham \u2013 75 days)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/01j3zc5g7rpfk52bfknx.jpg\" alt=\"Rene Meulensteen\" title=\"Rene Meulensteen\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Sir Alex\u2019s former assistant struggled at Craven Cottage \/ Steve Bardens\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Meulensteen has spent much of his football career in coaching, although his brightest work has come as an assistant.
