With familiar Brasileirão names: Portugal eye manager replacements | OneFootball

Portugal’s national team is already looking for coaches to replace Roberto Martínez after the World Cup.

The Spaniard will leave the team at the end of the tournament, when his contract with the Portuguese federation expires.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, a specialist in the transfer market, there are already three names on the list of possible successors: Abel Ferreira, Jorge Jesus, and Sérgio Conceição.

Among the options, the only one currently under contract is the Palmeiras coach, who is tied to the club until the end of 2027.

Jorge Jesus managed Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix at Al-Nassr over the last season.

Known for his successful spell at Flamengo, he announced his departure from the club at the end of May after winning the Saudi league title.

Sérgio Conceição has been available on the market since the beginning of the month, when he agreed to leave Al-Ittihad, also from Saudi Arabian football.

He had a successful spell at Porto and then moved to Milan before arriving in the Saudi league.

Still according to journalist Ben Jacobs, Roberto Martínez could even replace Jorge Jesus at Al-Nassr.

He is reportedly in talks with the Saudi club, but is also open to a return to the Premier League, where he previously worked in the last decade managing Wigan and Everton.
