Famous coaches are unemployed

ESPN has selected Zinedine Zidane, Xavi Hernandez and Gareth Southgate as prominent coaches awaiting a suitable invitation to return to the coaching bench.

Three Champions League titles in his first three seasons with Real Madrid have made Zinedine Zidane the leading candidate to succeed Didier Deschamps at France. He seems to have no interest in club football.

Xavi Hernandez led Barca to the 2022/23 La Liga title, but was criticized for being conservative and lacking an attacking identity. However, the former Spanish midfielder is still considered a talented coach and may try his hand in the Premier League, instead of choosing Saudi Arabia.

Thiago Motta once made a splash by helping a club with less potential like Bologna qualify for the Champions League. However, he failed miserably with Juventus. At just 42, Motta still has a bright future ahead of him and is a potential option for mid-level clubs.

Ange Postecoglou helped Tottenham break a 17-year trophy drought, but also suffered a record 22 Premier League defeats in the 2024/25 season. Big Ange's open, attacking philosophy remains a huge draw, and European football will be waiting for him to try again.

Luciano Spalletti is considered a Serie A legend, leading Napoli to the 2023 Scudetto. After 18 unsuccessful months with the Italian national team, Spalletti is still a bright name for any domestic club in need of an experienced coach on the coaching bench.

Gareth Southgate is the most successful England manager in the last half century. However, he still raises doubts when he cannot help the "Three Lions" win the title. Southgate is enjoying a peaceful life for now, but the pressure from Ruben Amorim at MU may soon pull him back to football.

Sean Dyche is a symbol of "firefighting" for English clubs. Despite his failure at Everton, Dyche is still considered a worthy choice for clubs in crisis. A reunion with Burnley is not too far-fetched a prospect.

Roger Schmidt is known from his time at Red Bull Salzburg, having led Leverkusen, PSV, Benfica. Schmidt's name is associated with the modern pressing philosophy, but his inconsistent performance has made him a subject of skepticism.

Marco Rose had a remarkable record of leading Gladbach to the Champions League knockout round, finishing second in the Bundesliga with Dortmund, and winning the German Cup with Leipzig. However, the changing times have made Rose gradually obsolete.

Gary O'Neil helped Bournemouth stay in the Premier League and Wolves reach safety in the Premier League, but inconsistent form cost him his job. O'Neil's next destination is likely to be a Championship club rather than the Premier League.
