Journalist says former Sporting manager is a monster | OneFootball

Journalist Elia Júnior said that Leonardo Jardim is a "much better coach" than Carlo Ancelotti. The commentator explained that he spoke to five former players of the current Brazil national team coach, who described him as "tactically weak", something the former Sporting manager surpasses.

"Leonardo Jardim better than Ancelotti? Of course he is! It’s obvious. He’s not better, he’s much better", he said on BandSports, during a heated exchange with Jorge Nicola, another journalist who was on the panel.

As a coach, he’s a monster. Look at Cruzeiro with him and Cruzeiro with Tite. That’s Leonardo Jardim, much better than Ancelotti," he said.

Despite the strong start at "Mengão", the 51-year-old coach has been dealing with a problem. Gonzalo Plata’s lack of dedication in training is making a transfer a possibility. The Ecuador international has played only 21 minutes under the Portuguese coach.
