Conte available for ambitious clubs without Europe

Several high-profile managers are currently without a club, including former bosses of Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham. Roberto Martinez’s reputation has suffered after his time with Portugal, but his overall record includes an FA Cup win with Wigan and a World Cup semi-final with Belgium.

Marcelo Bielsa, one of the most respected coaches of his generation, could still have one more job in him at the age of 71 after an underwhelming World Cup with Uruguay. Thiago Motta has been out of work for over a year since leaving Juventus, where he had previously impressed at Bologna.

Thomas Frank’s difficult spell at Tottenham might look better in hindsight, and his proven record at Brentford should keep him in contention for midtable jobs. Eddie Howe is expected to take a break after leaving Newcastle, but he could be linked with Everton or Celtic in the future.

Julian Nagelsmann’s stock has dropped after two underwhelming tournaments with Germany, but his experience at RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich should secure him a decent European job. Didier Deschamps is available after leaving France and has club experience winning trophies with Monaco, Juventus and Marseille. Antonio Conte’s track record of delivering titles at Juventus, Chelsea, Inter and Napoli makes him an option for ambitious clubs without European football.
