#3 Quique Sánchez Flores
In terms of out of work Spanish coaches, the next most viable and high profile candidate is Quique Sánchez Flores. The 53-year-old is another former Spain international and has managed a host of clubs in La Liga, most recently Espanyol.
His first season at the RCDE Stadium was a success but things tailed off in the 2017/18 season and the writing was on the wall when he openly flirted with the idea of taking over as Stoke City boss.
Dismissed on April 20th, Flores is looking for a new job this summer and while Espanyol flattered to deceive last term, high-profile victories over Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid helped ensure he is still held in high regard by some in Spain.
The Spanish Football Federation doesn’t have the sort of funds that Real Madrid or Barcelona can throw at coaches and Sánchez Flores wouldn’t command a huge salary so it’s certainly a realistic option although it’s fair to say his appointment wouldn’t be greeted with any great excitement amongst fans of La Roja.
