Claudio Ranieri is a manager who does not need much of an introduction. He is known worldwide as the man who fired Leicester City to the EPL title in stunning fashion.

After a below-par tenure with the Greek national team, Ranieri was signed by Leicester City, much to the surprise of many. He stunned the world by helping the Foxes win their first-ever Premier League title. That too in his first year at the club.

However, he couldn't replicate the same form the following year as many of his star players departed for bigger clubs. Since then, Claudio Ranieri has spent several years with several clubs before landing the Watford job.

Watford were 15th when Ranieri took over. They are now 17th and look beyond repair this season. For his potential, Ranieri surely deserves another club that could fit his style of management.


#2 Maurizio Sarri (Lazio)

Sarri is one of the few managers within the world of football who can boast of having ample coaching experience. Maurizio Sarri started his coaching career in 1990. Since then, the Italian's managerial career has come a long way.

Sarri's first major club was Empoli. He joined the Serie A side in 2012 and helped them secure a berth in Serie A during his second year at the club. Empoli made a comeback to Italy's top-flight after six long years under Sarri.

His heroics at the Tuscan club earned him a managerial role at Napoli. At Napoli, Sarri led the team with valor and the club thrived under him. He also won the manager of the season award (2016-17).

Sarri then went onto coach Chelsea and helped them secure the 2018-19 Europa Trophy. He quit the club the following year only to join a bigger side — Juventus. Sarri's switch from Juventus to his current club Lazio is the first time his graph has taken a dip in a long time.


#1 Jose Mourinho (Roma)

Roma is the least strongest team that Mourinho has been a part of lately
Roma is the least strongest team that Mourinho has been a part of lately

Jose Mourinho is arguably the most controversial manager in the world of football right now. Over the course of his lengthy managerial career, Mourinho has managed some of the best clubs in the world.

Renowned for his unusual tactics and unapologetic behavior, Jose Mourinho is both, admired and criticized for his approach. He was appointed as AS Roma's head coach ahead of the current season. Roma sit seventh in the league table currently and seem to be nowhere near improving their form.

After managing clubs like Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham, Roma is possibly a downgrade for him.
