What is the new career step Jorginho will take outside Flamengo?


Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup, but the Italian-Brazilian Jorginho found a way to take part in the tournament. That is because the Flamengo player will work as a commentator during the World Cup, something new for the midfielder. The player even admitted he is anxious about taking on the new role.

I’m very curious, it will be the first time and I believe it will be a unique experience. I’m anxious to see what it will be like, honestly. But I believe it will be a really nice moment, a very cool experience for me to learn as well. I also like learning, so let’s see what it will be like -, Jorginho said in the mixed zone.
