Jorge Jesus – Benfica
The well respected Portuguese has three titles to his name with Benfica, most notably this season, where his side overcame bitter rivals FC Porto again. Jesus is an expert at developing and maximising young starlets. Under his guidance, Nemanja Matic, Angel di Maria, David Luiz, Oscar Cardoza, Luisao and Nicolas Gaitan have thrived and in the case of some, have moved on to bigger and better things. Like most of the names on this list – he plays proper football – which should be an automatic characteristic of any potential new boss.
