Bruno Carvalho blasts Jorge Jesus over Sporting snub: “He’s petty” | OneFootball

Bruno de Carvalho reacted this Tuesday to Jorge Jesus’ remarks and accused the former Sporting manager of once again disrespecting Sporting. The controversy arose after Jesus said that Marco Silva “still hasn’t managed any big team in Portugal or England”, when asked about the possibility of Fulham’s current coach succeeding José Mourinho at Benfica.

Through social media, Bruno de Carvalho recalled the events of 2018 and aimed direct criticism at the Al Nassr coach: “For Sporting fans who in 2018 still believed in Jorge Jesus’ professionalism and institutional respect, the real answer is now plain to see”, wrote the former Sporting president.

The former executive also made a point of defending the historic stature of Sporting, arguing that Jorge Jesus ignored the greatness of the Alvalade club: “Jorge Jesus has once again disrespected the history of Sporting Clube de Portugal, one of the biggest clubs in the world. A club with titles, global stature, millions of supporters and a gigantic history that existed long before him and will continue long after him,” he said.

Bruno de Carvalho went further in his criticism and also launched a personal attack on the Portuguese coach. “The issue was never the size of the clubs. The greatness of clubs is measured by their history. The real issue is the greatness of men. And that is seen in the way they treat others, in the way they respect those who opened doors for them and trusted them,” he added.

“Jorge Jesus disrespected Sporting in 2018 and now is only once again confirming his smallness as a man”, concluded Bruno de Carvalho. It should be remembered that the Portuguese coach managed Sporting between 2015 and 2018, a period in which he won a League Cup and a Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, but failed to win the national championship.
