The Austrian has guided the Tykes to just one win in all competitions during his short time at the helm at Oakwell, with the Reds currently 13 games without a win.

We took a look at how Schopp's win percentage stacks up against the previous nine Barnsley managers, only including men who have taken charge of 10 or more games at the club.
