Jorge Jesus leaves Al Nassr and makes clear if he'll return to Benfica | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus confirmed that he is leaving Al Nassr after winning the Saudi league title, but ruled out any possibility of returning to Benfica. The Portuguese coach spoke about his future, also revealing that he has offers to return to Turkish football.

“I don’t think I’ll return to Brazil. I can only coach Flamengo or the national team, and that is out of the question at the moment. I didn’t want to become Brazil’s national team coach in January last year because I was very committed to Al Hilal. I had the Club World Cup and the Champions League that I wanted to win,” he said.

Jorge Jesus also spoke about a possible return to Portugal, a scenario he immediately dismissed: “Let’s imagine that I was returning to Portugal, which is impossible. I would only return for sporting reasons because financially there is no possibility. I earn more in one month here than in a year in Portugal,” he said, before sharing a personal reflection on the recognition he feels outside the country.

“I won many titles at Benfica, but I never had an entire stadium chanting for me like here and in Turkey and in Brazil. It is one of my disappointments. Benfica is a great club, I am very proud to have coached Benfica and I am the coach with the most titles there, but at this moment it is out of the question.”
