Which manager had the highest win percentage when they were sacked?

“Julian Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern Munich despite a win percentage of 71.4,” says Oisin Hughes. “With a minimum of, say, 10 games, is this a record?”

When, in 1990, that esteemed philosopher Robert Matthew Van Winkle sang, “Anything less than the best is a felony,” he evidently had a vision of 21st-century football. Europe’s superclubs have become so dominant that entitlement and expectation are greater than ever and Julian Nagelsmann’s departure continued the modern trend of managers being sacked for failing to achieve perfection.

He left Real with a win percentage of 74.79.

That puts him 0.01 behind Thomas Tuchel at Paris Saint-Germain. Tuchel was in charge for two and a half years, during which time he took PSG to their first Champions League final, but they lost 1-0 to Bayern and
