Rating the last 5 England coaches

#3 Peter Moores (2007 to 2009 and 2014 to 2015) - 6.5

Peter Moores had two reigns as England's head coach

After spending numerous years as coach of Sussex, Peter Moores finally got the coveted post in the wake of Fletcher's exit in 2007. In his first Test series as coach, England defeated the West Indies but then slumped to a 1-0 defeat to India at home. On the other hand, they drew a Test series in Sri Lanka and won a memorable series in New Zealand in 2008.

However, things started going awry for Moores after Kevin Pietersen became captain. The fact that the two did not get along began to affect the team. Following the hefty defeats in both Tests and ODIs in India during the 2008 tour, Moores was sacked along with captain Pietersen. It was during Moores' time that plenty of new players such as Jonathan Trott and Dimitri Mascarenhas were brought into the fold. Moores' second stint as the coach was a short one and it ended in ignominy as England failed to get out of the group stage in the 2015 World Cup in Australia.
