Top 5 unemployed managers ahead of the 2014-15 season

Managing top tier teams nowadays are like walking on a very thin rope. At any moment, the wealthy owners can sack and bring in the next big star manager. Gone are the days when a manager can hope to manage a club for as long as they can like Sir Alex Ferguson. Nowadays one bad season after two-three good seasons can get a manager sacked. Player power also plays a very important role as they can also catalyse the change in Management in a team. Here we look at some of the top managers without a job yet, this season.
