3 Top-Class Football Managers Out of Work Now

In just a few days, the coaching market has witnessed the addition of two "big-name" profiles. Julian Nagelsmann has joined the ranks of the unemployed after being sacked by Bayern Munich. Here, let's look at the 3 top-class football managers out of work right now.

#1 Julian Nagelsmann

The news of Bayern Munich sacking Nagelsmann came as a shock. After all, Nagelsmann's Bayern was still on the right track and even heading for a treble this season. The Bayern leadership provided various reasons, but none of them were truly convincing. Therefore, Nagelsmann's reputation remains largely unaffected after this dismissal. Many clubs have set their sights on him, with the latest being Tottenham, who just parted ways with Antonio Conte.

#2 Zinedine Zidane

After Zidane left Real Madrid in 2021, it was understood that he might be eyeing the head coach position of the French national team, which his former teammate Didier Deschamps currently holds. Zidane may have calculated that Deschamps would part ways with Les Bleus after the 2022 World Cup. However, that wasn't the case, as Deschamps extended his contract with the French team until the end of the 2026 World Cup. This means Zidane will have to alter his plans.

#3 Marcelo Bielsa

Sampaoli's mentor, Marcelo Bielsa, is also currently unemployed. He was dismissed by Leeds in February 2022 when the team was facing the threat of relegation. Since then, over a year has passed, but Bielsa hasn't accepted the managerial role at any club, except for the Uruguay national team. Some clubs are hesitant due to his somewhat eccentric personality both in behavior and style of play. However, for those who know how to harness the talents of the Argentine manager, he is a real goldmine.

Conclusion

That concludes the list of the 3 best football managers out of work today. In football, even top-class managers like Nagelsmann, Conte, Enrique, Zidane, Gerrard, Sampaoli, Bielsa, and Benitez face unemployment. Despite their achievements, they seek new opportunities to showcase their talents. Let's hope that these talented individuals find new paths soon!
