#5. Julen Lopetegui
Probably the most ill luck manager on this list, but one who undoubtable has plenty more to offer is the former Porto, Spain and Real Madrid gaffer, Julen Lopetegui. The Spaniard hit the front pages days before the Spain’s first game at the World Cup in Russia, when he was sacked by the FA from the position after he accepted a contract with Real Madrid. Pleasure of managing the greatest club in the world than came to a stop after just 13 games at charge due to poor run of form.

Average points per match - 2.16.
#3. Jose Mourinho
The Special One, as he self-proclaimed himself when he joined Chelsea after a historical treble with Portuguese side Porto FC on June 3rd 2004, the one and only, Jose Mourinho. There is no doubt that the Portuguese is one of the best managers that ever walked the face of the earth, but it has to be said that his outdated tactics no longer work as well as they did fifteen years ago. There surely is more juice in him and he will have plenty more to offer, but given he changes his ways, both in tactical and mental approach to the game. Given the time he has been at the top level of the game his average points per match is simply staggering and stands at 2.13.
#2. Arsene Wenger
The legendary Frenchman and Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger hasn’t still left the game as many of you thought, he is just taking a break from the game. And this break is well deserved after he had completed a longest spell as a manager of the top-flight club in England. His career with the Gunners spanned a remarkable 22 years in which the team lifted three Premier League titles of which one was a historic unbeatable season back in 2002/03. He also won numerous other cups such as FA on seven occasions and he also reached the final of the Champions League, only to be bettered by Barcelona. His twenty-two-year average points per game is 1.89, remarkable.
#1. Antonio Conte
One of the most important figures in the Juventus renaissance after the calciopoli scandal is their former captain and club icon, Antonio Conte. Conte started the trend of Juventus winning the Serie A which now lasts for the longest consecutive run in Italian top-flight history. Juve have won 7 consecutive titles of which the Italian won the first four, with one unbeaten season to his name, and he also introduced back to life the forgotten 5-3-2 tactic that brought great success both domestically and European wise. He had a brief spell with Italy that saw him earn a place of the Chelsea helm, whit whom he won the league on his debut season. Great tactician and authority in the dressing room, Conte has an average of 1.98 points per game.
