5. Carlo Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti yesterday won
the first Ligue 1 title of his Paris St-Germain career after overseeing the defeat of Lyon to clinch glory and the former Chelsea man now finds himself in high demand. Real Madrid had an approach for the Italian manager
knocked back on Monday as they apparently step up their pursuits for a replacement for Jose Mourinho, who appears to be living on borrowed time at the Bernabeu. City could now capitalise on Real's failure to land the former Juventus and AC Milan coach by naming him as the replacement to Mancini and bringing him back to England, where he won the Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield at Stamford Bridge between 2009 and 2010. He's currently the fifth favourite for the job with
Sky Bet ranking him 28/1 should he opt to snub Real's overtures and fill the City vacancy.
