Cardifframs Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Just asking the question,as there have been a lot of managerial comings and goings,the last few weeks. Who held the post of a football manager,for the least time,at a Uk football club? I think Steve Coppell springs to mind at Bristol City,as I believe it was days,rather than months,that he was there. Happy New Year to all,by the way!:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Leroy Rosenior(?spelling) claridges back up on FLS was in charge of Torquay for 10 minutes, or so manish keeps telling everyone when he is on EDIT: Taken from wikipedia Rosenior returned to Torquay United as head coach on 17 May 2007, replacing Keith Curle,[7] but was reportedly sacked after 10 minutes, which gave him the record of the shortest managerial reign in the history of English football. This was because at the same time Torquay were bought by a local consortium who installed Colin Lee as Chief Executive, Lee then appointed former Gulls player and Exeter City assistant manager Paul Buckle as manager.[8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I seem to remember something about Steve Bruce at Palace, I should look it up and give the full details but I can't be arsed. Anyway, he got the gig, decided it wasn't for him and done one but I'm sure he wasn't there long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18351455 Manuel Preciado dies 24 hours after being appointed Villarreal coach Former Sporting Gijon coach Manuel Preciado has died of a heart attack, aged 54. His death comes just 24 hours after he agreed a deal with relegated Villarreal to take over for the 2012-13 season. Preciado was sacked by Sporting Gijon in January after twice earning them promotion into Spain's top flight. In April 2011, his Gijon team ended Jose Mourinho's [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/apr/04/jose-mourinho-madrid-la-liga]nine-year unbeaten home league record when they defeated Real Madrid. As a player Preciado was a defender who began his career at Racing Santander and also appeared for Linares, Mallorca, Alaves, Ourense and Gimnastica. After retiring in 1992, he began coaching with Gimnastica in the mid-1990s and also had spells in charge of Racing B, Racing Santander, Levante and Murcia before joining Sporting Gijon in 2006. He led them into the Spanish top division in his second season and spent six years with the club. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho wrote an open letter [url=http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/Home.htm]on his club's website, saying: "Manolo (Manuel's nickname) was always an honourable opponent, who I got to know well when he came to visit us in March. "He had everything that I like in a person and in sportsmen: character, openness and the courage to fight against blows. "We have been left by a football figure and above all by a very special person. My memory of him will be heartfelt and permanent." Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas said on [url=I can't believe the bad news i just woke up with. Hugs for the family of Manolo Preciado. RIP my friend.— Cesc Fàbregas Soler (@cesc4official) June 7, 2012 "I can't believe the bad news I just woke up with. Hugs for the family of Manolo Preciado. RIP my friend." Another Barcelona player, Gerard Pique, called Preciado "one of the greats of the sport." A Villarreal club statement said: "Villarreal want to express their deepest sorrow at the sad loss and want to offer their condolences to his family and all his relatives." Preciado's record of 232 official matches in charge at Sporting, who were also relegated last season, is second only to Jose Manuel Diaz Novoa, who presided over 282 games. A statement on the Sporting website read: "With deepest regret, Sporting Gijon wish to express their sorrow at this sad loss, for someone who formed an integral part of this club's history, and send their deepest condolences to his family in this time of grief."

AndyinLiverpool Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 There was a bloke who was manager of Swansea or somesuch for about a week. Cullis or something - was the chairman's mate.

JohnClement Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Leroy Rosenior really did only do 10 minutes, unfortunately for him this wasnt on a 3 year contract on £5m a year. Kevin Culis did 7 days at Swansea, who also gave Micky Adams almost twice as much time (13 days). Our own Colin Todd only lasted 98 days -17 games and Cloughie senior of course 44 memorable days at Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bryan Gunn didn't do to well at Norwich, got battered 7-1 by Colchester in his only competitive game, and was then replaced by their boss. Edit: Apparently he was Caretaker boss for 20 games, and that was his only game after permanent appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
