#2 Massimiliano Allegri

The former Juventus boss boasts one of the best resumes amongst football managers, with the only notable absence perhaps being the UEFA Champions League. His time with the Bianconeri was nothing short of glorious, where he won 11 major titles in 5 seasons.

He had spells with Sassuolo, Cagliari, and AC Milan in the Serie A before joining Juventus in 2015. Largely on the back of a rock-solid defence, he led the Old Lady to five consecutive Serie A titles as well as to two Champions League finals in three years, where they were beaten by Barcelona and Real Madrid who were at the peak of their powers.

Some fans had begun to show their discontent with Allegri in his final seasons due to the lack of European success, but most were thankful to the Italian for maintaining their domestic domination.

It will be interesting to see Allegri's next destination, and many suspect it could be in the Premier League.


#1 Jose Mourinho

One of the most controversial yet greatest managers the game has ever seen, The Special One is without a club at the moment.

Even though Mourinho has a long list of incredible achievements such as his Champions League win with Porto, his domestic success with Chelsea, his treble with Inter, and his glittering tenure with Real Madrid, he considers finishing second with Manchester United one of his greatest ever achievements.

It so happens that Manchester United are the only side he has managed with whom he failed to win the domestic league title. His time at United ended in an ugly manner, with the club in shambles and stuttering at 6th on the league table.

In his last season at Manchester United, he openly voiced his discontent with some of the players and had regular feuds with the media. After a string of miserable performances and losses, Mourinho was sacked in December last year.

He now voices his opinion as a pundit for Sky Sports. Despite being linked to a host of clubs such as Real Madrid and PSG, Mourinho does not have a club at the moment and will be looking to return to management soon.
