Adams has lost all his games as the Granada manager

When the Arsenal legend was announced as the new manager of the La Liga side Granada, eyebrows were raised at his appointment. Granada were almost relegated back then as Adams himself said that he was brought on to build a base for the club and help them to rebuild.

There has been no hint of that in his five games as Granada have been humbled in the matches under Adams so far. They have scored just one goal under his tenure while conceding 13.

Though it was expected that Adams' side will falter against the most in-form team in the world at the moment, it was the manner of the defeat which wasn't a good viewing for anyone. He also made a substitution after just 18 minutes on the clock in the first half which shows his inability to chalk out a pre-decided plan against the opposition.

Adams might have to return to his role as an advisor and a sporting director soon after starting his time in Spain miserably. This torrid time as a manager for the former Arsenal centre-back comes after two spells in England with Wycombe Wanderers and Portsmouth.
