Croatia coach Slaven Bilic is on Manchester City's shortlist of names to succeed Mark Hughes.

The Mirror says Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Croatia coach Slaven Bilic and even Diego Maradona are also on the shortlist being drafted by the Abu Dhabi money men.

A well-placed source confirmed: "The people who own City have a big respect for Arsene and what he has done at Arsenal.

They do have the same respect for Jose Mourinho and have indicated that Bilic would be another option but Arsene is the man they want."
