#9 was an assistant to some very successful managers - one in particular

Is 8 something to do with the Catalan side? First manager, perhaps?
No idea who the other Frenchman is, but I'm sure it's bloody obvious.

 

[littleDinosaurLuke]

To be more specific about #8, he achieved a feat more associated with managers of the big two

The French manager might be Reggie's Gallic relative? (we don't want to be here all night )

Won La Liga and then did a little dance?

It's a bit of a cheat actually, but I thought someone might know/remember.

He paraded through the streets of Madrid on an elephant after Atletico Madrid won the double. He wasn't the manager really, but the owner/president/chairman/general egomaniac - Raddy Antic was the "coach" i.e manager to us

 

[Spurlock]

I was going to say Rafa B for number 6.
