#3 Leonardo Jardim (Monaco)
Who is the best manager from Portugal in 2017? The answer is definitely not Jose Mourinho. Leonardo Jardim is described as one of the most impressive and understated managers in European football right now.
Jardim's Monaco team impressed many across Europe after a stunning 2016/17 season as he guided the team to their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years and the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
He masterminded the transformation of Monaco into one of Europe's most exciting team over the last 12 months as his attack-minded philosophy enabled Monaco to score 107 goals in 38 Ligue 1 games last season.
After his last season heroics, many of the top European clubs are lining up for the Portuguese tactician and at only 42, Jardim's best managerial days are ahead of him.
