Brian Clough's 44-day Leeds stint was made into a film, while Marcelo Bielsa lasted just THREE DAYS at Lazio... but after Daniel Farke left Krasnodar without taking charge of a single match, here are 10 of the most infamously short managerial reigns

Former Norwich City manager Daniel Farke resigned as manager of Russian Premier League side Krasnodar this week without having taken charge of a single match.

The German's resignation comes following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which has seen sport turn its back on Russia.

Farke's first match was due to take place last weekend before the fixture was cancelled with Krasnodar airport closed due to the invasion.

Despite not taking charge of a match, however, Farke's reign lasted 48 days as it coincided with Russia's winter break, meaning his stint is nowhere near the shortest in terms of time in managerial history.
