#3 Lopetegui was close to being named as the manager of Wolves
The 51-year-old was involved with Spanish youth sides between 2010-2014. He won the Euros U-19 in 2012 which included the likes of Saul Niguez and Gerard Deulofeu. Lopetegui then won the Euros U-21 a year later which featured a number of today's Spanish superstars such as Isco, Koke and Thiago Alcantara.
After his work with the Spanish youth sides, Lopetegui went to Portugal with FC Porto but after a season and a half in charge, he was unceremoniously sacked. Then came the news of him becoming the Wolves manager in 2016 - just before he accepted the Spanish job of taking over from Vicente Del Bosque.
Lopetegui has himself admitted that he was close to agreeing on a move to England to manage at the Molineux. The deal was being engineered by his close friend and Wolves' power broker Jorge Mendes.
