It can't get any worse. European champion Santos lands in a shameful anti-ranking

In 2016, Portuguese coach Fernando Santos led his native national team to European glory. Since then, he's had a few adventures—including stints with the Poland national team and Turkish side Beşiktaş. But his latest job turned out to be a complete disaster. In fact, it went so poorly that he has now found himself among the worst in the business.

Details: After his spell with the Azerbaijan national team, Santos ended up tied for 9th–11th place among coaches with the lowest average points per match. Sharing the table with him are such managerial heavyweights as Turkey's Engin Firat for his time with Moldova and Sweden's Hans Backe during his tenure with Finland.
