Newcastle United and Leicester City are reportedly considering Leonardo Jardim.
It has been reported that Newcastle are keeping tabs on Jardim should Rafael Benitez part company as the Magpies’ manager.
The Premier League club are claimed to be considering the 44-year-old Portuguese should Benitez leave St. James’ Park.
Strong reputation
Jardim has a strong reputation in European football, and has managed big clubs such as Olympiacos, Sporting Lisbon and Monaco.
The Portuguese boss won the league title with Olympiacos in Greece in 2013 and guided Monaco to the League 1 title in 2016-17.
Keeping Rafael Benitez
Newcastle, though, should do their best to keep hold of Benitez, who is one of the best managers in world football.
The current Newcastle team has been assembled by the former Real Madrid manager, who will know the current group of players better than any other manager.
The Magpies are struggling in the Premier League at the moment and are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
