#3 Igor Stimac
The former Croatian National Team manager has also applied to be the new India head coach, but based on his recent managerial record, it could be a massive gamble by the AIFF, if they choose to appoint Stimac.
His last role as a head coach was with Iranian club Sepahan, where he took over in November 2015. By April 2016, his position at the club had become untenable, as they found themselves 11th in the league table, and knocked out of the domestic cup and the AFC Champions League.
His most high-profile job was as the head coach of Croatia, for whom he took over after Euro 2012, after Slaven Bilic's departure.
The qualification to the 2014 FIFA World Cup was a rocky ride for Croatia. Under Stimac, there were a series of underwhelming performances, which led to the public turning on him, too. In the end, Croatia scraped through to the playoffs, but Stimac tendered his resignation even before the playoffs - through which they were taken by current Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac.
Since his Croatian championship victory with Hajduk Split in 2004-05, Stimac has had very underwhelming runs wherever he's gone, with stints not lasting more than a year at all of Zadar in the Croatian league, Sepahan and the Croatian national team.
