Let's not forget England!
Yep, since taking his finger off the giant iPad Gary Neville has had a tough time of it - losing his job (and 11 of 28 games) at Valencia before going down with the good ship Hodgson after the biblically bad England showing at Euro 2016.
However, show us a manager who has endured no failure and we will show you a Football Manager nerd with too much time on his hands. Sir Alex Ferguson lost a job, Jose Mourinho has lost his mind and a few jobs, even Pep Guardiola has lost his hair.

It is part of football management and can often be a platform to bigger and better things. Mourinho finally got the job he wanted at Old Trafford, Steve Staunton wound up at Darlington and Claudio Ranieri finally got his hands on a league-winning team after 30 years in management.
Neville may not be ready to get back on the management horse just yet but that has not excluded him from the wacky world where failure results in more moolah.
"How many have Iceland scored, Gary?"
It would appear, according to
the Daily Mail, that Neville will make an extra £300,000 per year on his return to Sky Sports - despite having a slightly smaller role on the flagship Monday Night Football.
The former Manchester United full-back was apparently earning a healthy £1.2million per year for his acclaimed punditry before heading for his Iberian nightmare - but will return on a cool £1.5m to resume the banter with Jamie Carragher.
Does anyone have a number for G-Nev's agent?
