Nuno is a free agent after his dismissal by Nottingham Forest on Tuesday morning.
Reflecting on Portuguese Nuno's time in England, Jordan told talkSPORT: "It's an interesting dynamic, the style of club has got to be right for Nuno. Because when he went to Spurs it was completely wrong, that's why he got binned early doors.
"He's interesting, because he's successful in what he does. I think he's a difficult animal, I think he's a political animal.
"I don't mean in terms of his leanings, but in terms of the way he plays Machiavellian games to get his outcomes, and I think that doesn't sit very well.
"I think they ran out of patience with him at Wolves, but he produced a decent side that got them out of the Championship, did OK in the first couple of seasons in the Premier League.
"Did really well, produced a decent side because they had the flying winger (Adama) Traore, he was ripping people to pieces, and they had (Ruben) Neves and a few other people, the Portuguese connection because of Jorge Mendes (agent)."
A difficult animal
Jordan also said: "But I think he's a slightly difficult animal. Now, people will look at it and go... As a football operator, I don't think there's any doubt that Nuno Espirito Santo operates at a relatively high level, with a certain type of football club that's prepared to play a certain type of way.
"But there is also the other side of him that I think will challenge people. So, where could he go next?
"Is he worthy of another Premier League job? Yeah, of course he's worthy of another Premier League job, it just depends on the club.
"Is he a top six manager for one of the 'Big Six' clubs? I don't think so. Not because I dislike him in any shape or form, I just don't think he has that way about him to be a top six manager.
"Albeit, looking at the top six managers and what they're supposed to be, like Ruben Amorim, who's supposed to be managing a top six club, who knows what the model is these days.
"But I don't see him managing a top six club. He had a tilt at Spurs, it just didn't work and it's not just Daniel Levy and Spurs, it's he got binned really quick."
