José Leonardo Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim (Portuguese pronunciation: [liuˈnaɾðu ʒɐɾˈðĩ]; born 1 August 1974) is a Portuguese football manager.

Football career

Early years

Born in Barcelona, Anzoátegui, Venezuela to Portuguese parents who had settled in the country, Jardim returned to Portugal at a very young age, relocating to the island of Madeira. In 2001, aged only 27, he started his managerial career, acting as assistant to local A.D. Camacha for two years.[1][2]

Subsequently, Jardim was promoted to head coach at the third-division side, moving to G.D. Chaves in the same tier midway through the 2007–08 campaign. He led the northerners to promotion to the second level in his only full season.[3]

In the summer of 2009, Jardim was appointed at S.C. Beira-Mar, achieving another promotion, this time to the Primeira Liga.[3] He stepped down midway through the following season, even though the Aveiro team was doing a season above the expectations.[4]

Braga

In May 2011, Jardim replaced Sporting Clube de Portugal-bound Domingos Paciência at the helm of S.C. Braga.[5] He led the Minho club to the third position in his first and only season – posting a record of 15 consecutive league wins in the process –[6] but left after a run-in with the president.[7]

Olympiacos

On 5 June 2012, Jardim agreed to join Olympiacos F.C. from the Superleague Greece on a two-year contract, replacing Ernesto Valverde.[8][9] He was controversially relieved of his duties on 19 January of the following year, even though the team led the league by ten points.[10]

Sporting

Jardim returned to the country of his parents in summer 2013, signing a two-year deal with Sporting.[11] Leading a team full of youngsters developed at the youth academy,[12][13] he coached the Lisbon club to the second position in his debut campaign,[14] with 25 points and 18 goals more than the previous season.

Monaco

On 10 June 2014, Jardim was appointed at AS Monaco FC for two seasons plus the option for another.[15] He led the team to the third place in Ligue 1 in his first year, repeating the feat in 2015–16;[16] in between, on 12 May 2015, he signed a contract extension until 2019.[17]

In the 2016–17 campaign, displaying attacking football performed by several young players,[18] Jardim coached the club to its first national championship in 17 years.[19] The side also reached the semi-finals in both the UEFA Champions League and the Coupe de France, losing the final of the Coupe de la Ligue to Paris Saint-Germain FC;[20][21][22] in early June 2017, he agreed to a new deal until 2020.[23]

On 11 October 2018, following a poor start to the season which included two losses in as many Champions League group stage matches,[24][25] Jardim was sacked.[26]
