The season has just started and many clubs will be on the look out for a new manager as we see the current ones getting sacked. Football is treacherous and nobody's job is guaranteed. Some managers promise trophies to the management but fail to deliver and eventually, they get ousted.

Here are the top five managers who are free and ready to begin their practice again with new clubs.

#5. David Moyes

The Scottish manager has spent most of his career in England with clubs like Sunderland, Everton, Manchester United with the most recent stint at West Ham. Moyes is known for his tactical genius which surely worked with Everton but failed with Manchester United. The irony is that his winning percentage is highest with the Red Devils with whom he won 27 matches out of 51 bringing his victory percentage to 52.94%.

The 55-year-old managed the Hammers's previous season and parted ways at the end of the season only to watch Manuel Pellegrini replace him as manager of the London-based club. Moyes was Everton's manager from 2002 to 2013 and won 218 games out of total 518.

#4. Laurent Blanc

The former French player is known for his successful seasons at PSG. Blanc himself was a glorious player of his time. The former World Cup winner was linked with Chelsea this summer when the news had surfaced that the club is looking to part ways with former Italy boss, Antonio Conte. He had played for top European clubs like Napoli, Barcelona, Inter and Manchester United.

#3. Arsene Wenger

The former manager of Arsenal who helped guide the Gunners through decades is free now. He holds the record for most number of Premier League matches managed with a single team over the spell of 22 years. The Frenchman is known for building Arsenal's philosophies from the ground level and managing the team even in most difficult periods such as when the club swapped their home stadium with The Emirates.

He is also known for his glorious season of 2003-04 where the club broke records by going unbeaten the whole season and registering their name as 'The Invincibles' in the history books. Wenger might return to coaching again but have ruled out a come-back to the EPL.

Wenger has managed Arsenal for 828 matches in the premier league out of which he won 476, lost 153 and the rest were draws. Arsenal scored 1561 times under the veteran manager and conceded only 807. The Frenchman also holds the record of winning the FA cup most number of times i.e. 7.

#2. Antonio Conte

The former Italy boss brought revolution to the Premier League with his 5-2-3 formation in 2016-2017 which won him the league. He introduced the wingbacks to the Premier League, a position Marcos Alonso thrives at. His new tactics and modern approach towards the game are waiting to be delivered to a new club as the Italian parted ways with the West London club at the end of the season to allow Maurizio Sarri to take charge.

#1. Zinedine Zidane

The champion player turned out to be a champion manager too when Real Madrid decided to give their club legend a chance to solve their managerial crisis. Zidane is among the finest of players the world has ever seen and he has the potential to leave the same legacy in managing as he did as a player. The former World Cup winning player won three consecutive Champions League titles while managing Real Madrid in his three campaigns with the Galacticos.
