#2 Mauricio Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino has worked wonders with Tottenham during his time in charge, with the former Southampton manager turning Spurs from a top-six side to genuine title contenders. Pochettino has been able to cast his magic over Tottenham despite the reconstruction of White Hart Lane and their lack of financial muscle.
The Argentinian also fits the mould of the modern manager, with the 46-year-old looking to play on the front foot and in advanced areas of the pitch. Mauricio is familiar with LaLiga from his time in charge of Espanyol and will not need time to adapt to the league. Real Madrid, above all else, demand Champions League and LaLiga titles as part of the remit for any manager.
Pochettino is without any career silverware, with his team always disappointing in the latter stages of tournaments and Premier League campaigns. This summer looked like the first time Mauricio questioned Daniel Levy's policy and ambitions for the club long-term. The prospect of Real Madrid is difficult to ignore and it would not surprise anybody if Mauricio were to manage in Spain again.
