José Leonardo Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim (Portuguese pronunciation: [liuˈnaɾdu ʒɐɾˈdĩ]; born 1 August 1974) is a Portuguese football manager, currently in charge of French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco FC.
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 manager career, acting as assistant to local A.D. Camacha for two years.
Subsequently, Jardim was promoted to head coach at the third division side, moving to G.D. Chaves in the same category midway through the 2007–08 campaign and leading the northerners to promotion to the second level in his only full season.
In the 2009 summer, he was appointed at S.C. Beira-Mar, achieving another promotion, this time to the Primeira Liga. Jardim stepped down midway through the following season, even though the Aveiro team was doing a season above the expectations.
In May 2011, Jardim replaced Sporting Clube de Portugal-bound Domingos Paciência at the helm of S.C. Braga. 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 –but left after a run-in with the president.
