Pepe denied on Friday a SIC report claiming that the former centre-back, 43, had turned down an invitation from the Portuguese Football Federation to take up the role of Jorge Jesus’s assistant coach with the national team, because he would only consider performing that role under the command of Sérgio Conceição, his former coach at FC Porto.
The same report also stated that Pepe had likewise rejected being José Mourinho’s assistant at Real Madrid, which would have marked a reunion, for the same reason.

Jorge Jesus will be presented by the FPF this Friday at 3:00 p.m., while the makeup of his coaching staff remains unclear for now.
