2. Leonardo Jardim
If the recent rumours are anything to go by, the Monaco manager is one of those identified by the club as a replacement for Wenger, but what can the 42-year-old bring to the table?
With more than a decade in management, Jardim sure knows his onions well, and a look at the Ligue 1 table – where his side sits 3 points clear at the top with a third of the campaign to play, hints at that.
The Portuguese has proved that he’s able to break PSG’s domestic monopoly after finishing 2nd in his first two seasons in France, and he masterminded Monaco’s victory over Arsenal in the last-16 of the Champions League in 2014/15.
During his days in the Portuguese leagues, where he rose to stardom, Jardim ensured lower-tier sides Chaves and Beira-Mar got promoted and led Braga to a third-place finish in 2012. His stint in Greece saw him take Olympiacos 10 points clear at the top of the league in 6 months, before being fired.
This manager has shown the world how to get the best out of Falcao and has turned youngsters like Carvalho, Lemar, Kurzawa and Carrasco into world beaters.
He is not definitely an upgrade on Wenger, but he is still young and could become a great manager when he reaches Arsene’s age.
