We've delved into Nuno's recent managerial endeavours to find out if he can bring success to a club and city eager to get back into the Premier League.

Porto

Nuno's most recent side, and one of the true giants of Portuguese and European football - it's no easy task to take the helm at the Estadio do Dragao.

However, despite the size and manner of the job, Nuno handled himself very well in the Primeira Liga.

He managed to lead Porto to second in the table, just six points behind Benfica - who boast the likes of Jonas, Kostas Mitroglou and Edwardo Salvio on their books.

The season was headlined with several strong results, with a 7-0 thrashing of Nacional topping the lot.

It was draws which cost the Portuguese boss during this season, with ten stalemates leaving them chasing the eventual champions.

His side also made it to the round of 16 in the Champions League, losing out 3-0 on aggregate to eventual finalists Juventus.

However, Nuno's side didn't make in-roads in the Taca de Portugal, crashing out in the round of 32 in a 1-0 loss to Chaves, who themselves lost in the semi-finals of the domestic tournament.

Nuno parted ways with Porto at the end of the season, having been in charge for just 355 days.

Valencia

Nuno's second club in management and the only team in Spain he's been in control of, the former goalkeeper headed to the Mestalla Stadium in 2014.

Replacing Juan Antonio Pizzi, Nuno settled in well at Valencia earning himself a new deal until 2018 by January.

Eventually finishing his debut season in La Liga in fourth, he helped guide The Oranges to 22 wins and 11 draws, losing fewer games than Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

The finish also secured a place in the play-off round of the Champions League. They qualified for the group stages after beating Monaco 4-3 over two legs - making it the first time any nation had five teams qualify for the competition's group stages.

Nuno's successes in his first season at the club were recognised by the league too, with the Portuguese boss earning the La Liga Manager of the Month award three times.

However, during his second season in Spain, Valencia struggled to emulate the form from the previous campaign.

With Valencia in ninth position following a 1-0 defeat away to Sevilla, Nuno resigned from his duties, with Gary Neville replacing him just a few days later.

Rio Ave

Nuno's first job in management following his retirement from playing. The former Malaga and Panathinaikos goalkeeping coach was brought in to Rio Ave following the sacking of Carlos Brito.

During his first season, Nuno helped Rio Ave climb the table following the previous season's 14th placed finish (just four points clear of relegation) under Brito.

Despite a 6-1 hammering away at Benfica in a heated affair in March, Nuno helped his side to 6th in the Primeira Liga - finishing above Sporting Lisbon and just three points from a spot in the Europa League third qualifying round.

During his second season in charge, he did lead Big River to Europa League qualification for the first time in their history after reaching Portugal's two domestic cup finals.

However, his side's league form didn't quite match the previous campaign, with the side ending up 11th, ten points worse off.

Nuno left he club following the season's end ahead of his move to Valencia for the 2014/15 season.
