8) Antonio Conte (Italy National Team)
Conte led Juventus to three successive Serie A titles between 2012 and 2014, before surprisingly stepping down in order to take the Italian national team job. Despite a promising start, he could yet be tempted back into club football.
7) Laurent Blanc (Paris Saint Germain)
A man very much used to winning things in the managerial world, having enjoyed unprecedented success with Paris Saint Germain. The French giants remain on course for the quadruple this season, although Chelsea will be aiming to end those hopes next week.
