4. Luciano Spalletti
The Italian is a free agent after being sacked by Zenit St Petersburg where he was ironically replaced by Andre Villas-Boas. After doing a good job at Udinese and Roma, the 55-year-old lasted longer in Russia than any other Western manager, leading Zenit to back-to-back titles. A lack of English and Premier League experience are likely to count against him, however.
