Tactical Analysis: Leonardo Jardim's Monaco

Leonardo Jardim’s career has been defined by scouting and enhancing the resources at a club in order to push it to greater heights and achieve milestones that the club would never have thought about. The Portuguese coach never played professional football.

He entered this arena as an enthusiast who decided to learn the craft off the pitch from an academic perspective. Jardim slowly developed into a fantastic coach and his Monaco side from 2016-2017 will forever be a part of the history books.

Monaco emphasized on developing youth and going for players who were the right profiles for the coach instead of spending money on big players without any plan.
