- Manuel Pellegrini – Currently Manager of Hebei China Fortune
Despite only recently taking up a post in China, one feels Pellegrini would jump at the chance of making a return to the Premier League with a club as big as Arsenal.
The Chilean would certainly be a safer bet than those already mentioned, having already immersed himself in the league’s culture – his know-how and experience in coaching would also soften the blow that will inevitably come with losing Arsene Wenger.
An appointment in north London would also provide Pellegrini with the perfect opportunity at redemption, seeing how things ended at Manchester City. It’s never nice to know that no matter what you do, you’re going to be replaced come to the end of the season and Pellegrini might feel he still has some unfinished business.
