Losers
Avram Grant – Ghana
The Israeli manager was handed quite the baptism of fire, playing Senegal in his first official match. But Grant knew he was hopping into a boiling pot when he signed up for the job, and the gamble of playing a 3-5-2 simply did not pay off. His late substitutions were also conservative in a match that was locked in a stalemate. His intention to settle backfired, as Senegal stole a late winner in injury time.
