Walsall, Brentford, Aston Villa, Norwich City, and Leicester City have all been managed by Dean Smith.

The former Leeds United manager has been in the frame for recent EPL vacancies (Leicester City, Southampton). It seems he wants to accept a position that is the right fit rather than just taking the next job that comes along.
Carlos Corberan
Between 2017 and 2020, Corberan assisted Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United when they won promotion from the Championship and during their stay in the top tier. Since then, he has struck out on his own after being appointed at Huddersfield Town, Olympiacos and West Bromwich Albion.
