The 10 star managers still available 👀

The 10 star managers still available 👀 Who will give them a bench? If there’s one group of football figures talked about less during the summer transfer window, it’s coaches. With few exceptions, at this stage of the transfer market, teams already have their managers in place, and woe betide those who haven’t found a project. This season, whether by choice or after being sacked, a large number of well-known and talented coaches are still available. So we’ve put together a list of the 10 best coaches still free. Which one would you like to see arrive at your club? Didier Deschamps It’s the obvious option, but after 14 years in charge of Les Bleus, will Deschamps have the desire and energy to already launch himself into a new adventure? 📸 Buda Mendes - 2026 Getty Images Pep Guardiola The same applies as with Didier Deschamps: after many grueling years with Manchester City, the Spaniard probably wants to enjoy a long break. He recently had the chance to take over Italy, too. 📸 Lewis Storey - 2026 Getty Images Arne Slot After leaving Liverpool to everyone’s surprise, Arne Slot is still looking for a new challenge. He recently turned down the Netherlands national team job, preferring club football. 📸 PAUL ELLIS - AFP or licensors Walid Regragui Without a project since leaving the Morocco national team after the defeat in the 2025 AFCON final, Walid Regragui could be a good idea for many clubs. The former midfielder had also come close to joining Paris FC. 📸 Franco Arland - 2026 Getty Images Antonio Conte After a difficult final season at Napoli, Antonio Conte threw in the towel and left the club. Touted as one of the contenders to take over the Italy national team, he was ultimately beaten to it by Roberto Mancini. 📸 Francesco Pecoraro - 2026 Getty Images Zlatko Dalic Arguably one of the greatest national team coaches of the 21st century is available. After Croatia’s elimination in the Round of 32 at the World Cup, the Croatian legend eventually stepped down. Dalic could be a great opportunity on the market. 📸 Justin Setterfield - 2026 Getty Images Marcelino After a magnificent season with Villarreal, leading the club to a third-place finish in LaLiga, Marcelino decided to leave the Yellow Submarine. He may not remain available for much longer, however, with Foot Mercato reporting that the Spanish coach is in talks with Al Ahli. 📸 Florencia Tan Jun - 2026 Getty Images Stefano Pioli After his last chaotic spell at Fiorentina, the 60-year-old coach could be tempted by a new challenge. 📸 Gabriele Maltinti - 2025 Getty Images Igor Tudor He too is coming off a completely failed last experience. After his brief spell on the Tottenham bench, the Croatian coach is without a project, though he still retains a strong reputation in Italy. 📸 Alex Pantling - 2026 Getty Images Xavi What a curious coaching career Xavi has had. Despite winning the Spanish title with Barça, the Spanish legend has been without a club for several years. Will he finally find the right fit? 📸 Alex Caparros - 2023 Getty Images This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here.
