10 best football managers who are currently unemployed

#6 Slaven Bilic

Slaven Bilic was sacked by West Ham on November 3

Like Montella, Bilic is another recently sacked manager. West Ham got rid of him only a couple of seasons after a superb 7th-place finish. The Hammers have never finished higher in the Premier League.

in 2015/16, Bilic became only the 4th manager to record away wins over Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City in the same season. His team was very exciting to watch as they almost finished as the league's highest scorers after finding the net 65 times.

During his six years in charge, Croatia was also a wonderful team to watch and with a bit of more talent, could've easily achieved some success at one of the major tournaments. For example, only a penalty shootout loss to Turkey knocked them out of the EURO 2008 semis.

Bilic won nearly 65% of matches in 2006-2012 with Croatia. He then had a disappointing spell at Lokomotiv Moscow, but bounced back at Besiktas with three consecutive 3rd-place finishes.

The 49-year-old has picked up some great experience from many different leagues and will be an asset for any side ready to give him a chance.

He hasn't yet won anything as a manager, so the desire and will to win should still be there. And what's maybe even more important, is that he'll be eager to prove his doubters wrong after his time at West Ham was brought to a cruel end.
