Nuno Espirito Santo is currently managing Wolverhampton Wanderers and is doing a pretty good job at that. Nuno started is coaching career at Rio Ave in Portugal and had further spells at Valencia and FC Porto. However, it is his spell at Wolves which has thrown him into the coaching limelight.

Nuno joined Wolves in 2017 and led them to the Premier League in his first season winning, the EFL Championship and securing promotion in the process. He made a lot of good signings in the 2018 summer transfer window with experienced players like Rui Patricio and Joao Moutinho joining. Young guns like Diogo Jota and Raul Gimenez also came on board.

Wolves played solid football throughout with Nuno opting to deploy a 4-4-2 formation. It resulted in the club ending up seventh in the Premier League, their highest finish in over half a decade. They defeated Torino FC in the UEFA Europa League play-offs to reach the group stages of the continent's second-tier competition.

His teams are compact and well organised defensively. His experience in the Premier League and now the UEFA Europa League is an added bonus for him to be considered for the role of Arsenal boss shoudl Emery be asked to leave.
