#5 Antonio Conte

Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final
Conte's tenure at Chelsea ended last season

This Italian needs no introduction but for those who've seen him at Juventus and Chelsea, Antonio Conte cuts across as a figure whose only idea is to "work, work and work".

Inflicting a superb legacy on Juventus which involved winning the scudetto three times, he also won the Coppa Italia twice and when he entered Stamford Bridge after his remarkable stint with the Italian national team, much was expected of him and he certainly did deliver.

In a tenure shaped with passion and commitment, Antonio Conte went on to become a fan favourite and he went on a superb streak of winning thirteen games in a row before their bitter rivals Tottenham ended it.

Conte won the Premier League in his very first season but his trouble with the board saw him leave at the end of the last campaign.

His tactical brilliance needs mentioning as well because he got stability and work-ethic in all his teams by playing with a fluid back-three and at times, an unorthodox 4-2-4.

His tenure with Chelsea saw him play an intelligent 3-4-3 which no team had the answer to until Pochettino defeated Conte's men and no team in England had gotten the back-three to work and Conte did it in his own style.

The Italian is without a job and Old Trafford might certainly seem like a delicious job for Antonio. If the board of Manchester United are ready to add him, he seems like a very good option for Manchester United to consider.
