Football Manager 2017: 20 Best Assistant Managers

9. Nuno Campos

Age: 41.

Club: Shakhtar Donetsk.

Key Stats: 18 Level of Discipline, 16 Motivating, 15 Man Management.

Spoiler alert: Portugal produce a stack of great Assistant Managers.

Nuno Campos has only just joined Shakhtar as Paulo Fonseca's right hand man. Thus, you'll probably have to wait a while before he's up for joining your side, but your patience will be rewarded. Campos is a real training ground marshal, and a great choice to take control of your team talks. Additionally, he's still only 41 years old, and there's a strong chance he'll be the game's best assistant by the time he peaks.
