North London giants Arsenal are on the search for a new manager on the back of the dismissal of Spanish tactician Unai Emery who had been in charge of the first team at the Emirates Stadium for over 18 months.

According to the Daily Mail, a list of seven potential candidates have been drawn up by Arsenal in their quest to find a replacement for Unai Emery.

The shortlist includes Mikel Arteta, Eddie Howe, Nuno Espirito Santo, Maximiliano Allegri, Patrick Vieira, Carlo Ancelotti, and Brendan Rodgers.

Ex-Gunners skipper Mikel Arteta ended his football career at Arsenal and he has been assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for the best part of the last two years.

Eddie Howe has impressed as the Bournemouth manager and he’s regarded as one of the best English managers.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is one of the top contenders for the Arsenal managerial job and it would take compensation of around £5m to prise him away from the Midlands club.

Maximiliano Allegri is on sabbatical after leaving Juventus last summer.

Former Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira is the manager at French club OGC Nice, while Brendan Rodgers is the Leicester City manager.

Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure to perform as the Napoli manager this season.
