John Buchanan
John developed a few handy theories which really helped Australia team to get victory. He believed the axing of 4 Australian players for screwing up to complete a job during the tour of India has passed England a benefit ahead of 2013 Ashes. Buchanan had reputation for using non-traditional methods during his period at the helm of a extremely successful Australian team and he said the serious action taken by the team administration in India could establish a masterstroke, or it could lead to the end of Coach Mickey Arthur‘s tenure. When he showed up at Kolkata Knight Riders he used his ‘Multi captain Theory’ which could not switch in IPL, though he did not admit his inability. This incident made him another one of the controversial coaches.
Ottis Gibson

Bangladeshi supporters bombarded the West Indies Team as Bangladesh lost against them. Those Bangladeshi followers threw stone at the bus of the team. He also stated that staying in a hotel room of Chennai he could hardly say that those stones were merely pebbles. This controversial comment against Harron Lorgat made him among the controversial coach.
Bob Woolmer
He designated as the coach of the Pakistan team in 2004. In 2006, Pakistan was charged for tampering the ball against England at Bristol in International T20 match in 2006. He had to support his team to hold his popularity. At the time of verdict, he said that he could hardly recall any such episode and he refused suggesting ball-tampering. His technique did not get accomplishment in world cup 2007. But his death made him more debatable. He was discovered dead in a hotel room at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel on 18th march 2007. At first it was regarded as a normal death leading to heart attack but later homicide investigation had been launched. Later post-mortem report revealed that the death was natural.
Javed Miandad

He had three coaching stints together with the Pakistan national team, with varying success and substantial controversy. In 2004 under his coaching Pakistan started performing horrible against India.
