Two vacancies that are opening up ever so slightly are the Bayern Munich and Juventus ones. The Bavarians and Old Lady are struggling in the opening stages of the Bundesliga and Serie A, respectively. Julian Nagelsmann's side have only 12 points after seven games played in 2022/23 and currently lie fifth.
Meanwhile, Juventus are in even more trouble than their German counterparts as Max Allegri's side sit in eighth place after the same amount of games played but they have two points less than Bayern after minnows Monza shocked the whole of Italian football with their 1-0 victory on Sunday.
It is understood, according to reports in Italy, that Juve, who are also struggling in their Champions League group after two consecutive defeats, are willing to wait until the end of the season with the hope that they can poach Tottenham's Antonio Conte. What about Bayern Munich then?

Despite Bild Sport reporting that Tuchel is the favourite to replace Nagelsmann if he is to be sacked, the Bayern president has poured cold water on these rumours with his public backing for the former RB Leipzig boss.
Herber Hainer tells German media: “We are completely convinced of Julian Nagelsmann and our whole team. After the international break we will go all out again, as you know FC Bayern”.
Regardless of where Tuchel is to eventually end up post-Chelsea, he and his assistants will only hold fond memories of their time in West London, despite how sudden it all ended for him under the new Todd Boehly era.
He wrote on his Twitter: "This is one of the most difficult statements I have ever had to write - and it is one which I hoped I would not need to do for many years.
"I am devastated that my time at Chelsea has come to an end. This is a club where I felt at home, both professionally and personally.
"Thank you so much to all the staff, the players and the supporters for making me feel very welcome from the start," Tuchel added.
"The pride and joy I felt at helping the team to win the Champions League and the Club World Cup will stay with me forever. I am honoured to have been a part of this club’s history and the memories of the last 19 months will always have a special place in my heart."
