Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva says Porto coach Sergio Conceicao would be a success in England.

Bernardo insists the impact of Portuguese managers in the Premier League is a sure sign Conceicao would impress.

He told O Jogo: "The Portuguese coaches are very strong tactically. Sérgio Conceição already did a great job in France in Nantes - I think he did.

"There would be room in England. (Jose) Mourinho left, but we have Marco Silva (Everton) and Nuno Espírito Santo (Wolves)."

Bernardo also spoke of former AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim.

"I was really sorry (about his sacking). I talked to Mr. Jardim at the time, but it's a club decision. He lost a lot of the champion players two years ago, but Jardim gave a lot to the club. Monaco supporters are grateful he gave them a title they had not won for a long time."
