#2 Mauricio Pochettino
The Argentinian has been linked with the Real Madrid's top job for some time but recently signed a new deal at Tottenham Hotspurs last year.
Pochettino is yet to win a major trophy which could work against him but the former Espanyol boss has been praised for his approach, attacking mindset, philosophy and for promoting young talent. Pochettino may not have a silverware to show for himself but he has given the Premier League teams a run for their money with limited resources.
He made suggestions towards the end of last season that he could depart Tottenham Hotspurs but his fresh five-year deal makes that unlikely given the compensation Real would have to pay. He has further gone on to state that given a choice he wants to finish his career with the Spurs.
Pochettino maybe the perfect choice as he knows the Spanish League inside out having managed Espanyol in the past. The only problem in luring him to Santiago Bernabeu would be the new contract that he has signed and dealing with CEO of Tottenham, Daniel Levy who is known to be a shrewd businessman.
