The 5 Most Underrated Managers in World Football currently

#4 Nuno Espirito Santo (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Nuno has proven himself in the Premier League so far

The Portuguese endured a mixed bag in the initial phases of his managerial career. After procuring an impressive fourth-place finish with Valencia in 2014-15, he found himself at Porto. However, things didn’t pan out as expected and he was fired after ending the 2016-17 season trophy-less.

Yet, since arriving on British shores, the Portuguese has only enhanced his reputation.

In his first season at Wolves, Nuno guided them to the title in England’s second-tier and subsequent promotion to the Premier League.

Though the Portuguese’s charge has substantially been boosted by the funds available to him, one needs a person capable of using the money with aplomb. (Just ask Fulham)

The most impressive aspect though of Nuno’s management has been his inclination to play attacking football. In a season where only a few teams are playing three at the back, the Portuguese has stuck to his guns and produced solid performances week in, week out.

Moreover, he has shown to be tactically astute and seems to have the wood over the ‘big six’.

At this juncture, Nuno is definitely one of the more talented managers in England yet his name rarely features in the said discussion.

On countless occasions, he has shown the characteristics to be among the best and if he continues delivering the goods, he might just get the credit he deserves.

But for now, he surely is the epitome of the underrated manager and easily makes our list.
