5 most unsuccessful Real Madrid managers in recent times

#2 Jose Antonio Camacho

Camacho helped Rayo Vallecano and RCD Espanyol get promoted to the top division

One of the most experienced coaches of the time, Jose Antonio Camacho was also one of the most capped players of Real Madrid during his playing days -- with over 400 appearances for the White outfits.

Camacho helped Rayo Vallecano and RCD Espanyol get promoted to the top division. He was expected to replicate his fine coaching prowess by winning titles when made in charge of Real Madrid.

However, he could not handle the stress when he was made the manager of the Galacticos on 17 June 1998 and left after 22 days in charge.

Disagreements with the club's management is the reason cited for his departure after only three games. Jose left even before the season began.

Jose Antonio would return to Real Madrid and had a second stint as manager from 25 May 2004 to 20 September 2004.

He came in at the time when the club was struggling and replaced the outgoing Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz.

This time both the club management and Jose had hoped that his stay would be fruitful and had signed a two-year contract as well.

However, it was just not meant to be and things took an ugly turn after a shocking 0-3 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League which was shortly followed by a 0-1 loss to Espanyol in the league. There was discord again and Camacho decided to leave in September itself.
