André Soares Jardine (born 8 September 1979) is a Brazilian professional football manager. He is the manager of Liga MX club América.

Early life[edit]

Jardine was born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. After representing Grêmio's youth categories,[1] he started studying Engineering but graduated in Physical Education at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.[2]

Career[edit]

Internacional[edit]

Jardine joined Internacional in 2003, being appointed manager of the under-10s. He took over all the club's youth categories during his ten-year stay, with his last team being the under-20s.

Grêmio[edit]

On 24 September 2013, he returned to Grêmio after being named under-17 manager.[3]

On 27 July 2014, after Enderson Moreira's dismissal, Jardine was named interim manager,[4] being in charge for one match (a 2–1 loss against Vitória) before the appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari. Subsequently, he was named assistant, but ended the year as the coordinator of the under-15s after having altercations with Scolari.

São Paulo[edit]

In February 2015, Jardine moved to São Paulo and was appointed at the helm of the under-20s. He was interim manager on two occasions (in 2016 and 2018) before being named assistant in March 2018. On 11 November 2018, he was named interim until the end of the campaign, replacing sacked Diego Aguirre.[5]

On 25 November 2018, Jardine was appointed manager of Tricolor for the 2019 season.[6] The following 14 February, however, he was removed from his manager role, but remained at the club.

Brazil[edit]

On 3 April 2019, Jardine took over the Brazil national under-20 team, replacing fired Carlos Amadeu.[7] Later that year, he also took charge of the under-23s, following Sylvinho's abdication. Brazil went on to win the gold at the 2020 Summer Olympics defeating Spain in the final.

San Luis[edit]

On 3 February 2022, Jardine took over Liga MX side Atlético San Luis.[8]

América[edit]

On 16 June 2023, Club América reached an agreement with Atletico San Luis and appointed Jardine as their new manager. Jardine became the third Brazilian manager in the club's history.[9]

On 17 December 2023, Jardine guided América to their 14th championship, making him one of only five managers in the history of the club to win the league trophy on their debut campaign.

América only lost two games on Jardine’s first season in charge, the first match of the season against Juárez and the second leg of the semifinals against Atlético San Luis, whom are Jardine’s former team, América went through on aggregate 5-2.
