Top 5 Football Managers Without A Job Now In 2021
3 years ago

Many highly regarded managers have been dismissed, quit their roles, or have yet to join a new club after finishing their last management duties in recent seasons. On that note, here's a look at the five best managers without a job right now:
Frank Lampard
It wasn’t much long ago that Frank Lampard was sitting at the Chelsea dugout, motivating players and trying to help them compete with top sides. However, things turned sour for him as this season went along and with Chelsea’s top-four dreams fading away, he was sacked at the end of January.

LUCIEN FAVRE
While his time at Borussia Dortmund ended in rather brutal fashion at the turn of last year, Favre remains one of the brightest minds in the game, and his body of work should make him a racing certainty to be interviewed by any ambitious Premier League outfit. A Favre appointment could have echoes of Ralph Hasenhüttl should he arrive in English football, given the Saints boss was prematurely written by many after his time at RB Leipzig ended on a sour note.

Ernesto Valverde
Make no mistake, there were some very questionable signings during the Valverde era at Barcelona, chiefly the acquisitions of Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann for eye-watering nine-figure sums, though that bad business can largely be attributed to a spendthrift board who lacked long-term vision. Valverde was ‘backed’, a term bordering on the cliche these days, but his ‘backing’ was a poorly-assembled squad of individuals. For his part, though, Barca won back-to-back La Liga titles and the Copa del Rey between 2018 and 2019. It unravelled in the end for La Liga’s 2015/16 ‘Coach of the Year’, but the blame cannot be solely levelled at Valverde, particularly given how the club have fared since his exit.
Arsene Wenger
The more time that passes since Wenger's Arsenal departure, the more unlikely it seems that he'll return. Yet the man himself remains keen and don't be surprised if one of the offers tickles his fancy.
Zinedine Zidane
Zidane parted ways with Madrid for the second time this summer, after failing to secure a trophy for Los Blancos. Despite that, he led them to their 34th La Liga title in 19/20, and will now embark on a new challenge at a new club, in all possibility.
