That was not the debut he was hoping for.
If Tony Adams was under any illusion regarding the mammoth task he has to undertake, he certainly does now.
Adams’ first game in charge of Granada took place on Sunday night when his side hosted Celta Vigo at Los Carmenes.
Granada succumbed to a 3-0 defeat as a goal in the first half and two in the second leave Granada seven points from safety with only six games remaining.
It always takes time for a new manager to get his messages across and put his stamp on a team but you usually get an initial burst of improved performance straight away and that just didn’t happen.
Adams, of course, made headlines during the week for his training ground methodologies but his sole focus would had been on Sunday night’s match.

Adams will be targeting future games against Osasuna, Espanyol and Malaga as opportunities to pick up points – you can probably forget about their fixtures against Real Madrid and Sevilla.
Nevertheless, as much as it is still possible for Adams to rescue the situation, observers on social media don’t seem that confident….
Tony Adams is basically there for a holiday

Tony Adams has suffered his first loss!! Picked up where Neville left in Spain. They're heroes until they are given the actual job!!

Of course Granada lost. The way Tony Adams was animated you'd expect the performance to be nothing short of comedic
