Ex-Flamengo’s Jorginho reveals offers from five Série B clubs | OneFootball

Jorginho has been unemployed since leaving Coritiba in 2024

Now as a coach, Jorginho has been through Flamengo and was champion of the Brazilian Championship in 1987 by the red-black team. In an interview, the current commander, who is unemployed, highlighted that he would never work at Sport due to his connection with Mengão. In addition, he made himself available and mentioned that he received proposals from five Serie B clubs from the Brasileirão.

— I've been out of work for nine months, but I can stay like this because I chose. I had five Serie B clubs that called me this year, five indeed. And I said I'm not going to work in Serie B this year, I'm not. It may be that suddenly, it doesn't work out as a coach, but it does as a technical coordinator —, began Jorginho, in an interview with ‘Basticast, from 365 Scores’.

WHAT IS JORGINHO'S CONNECTION WITH FLAMENGO?

Jorginho started his playing career at América-RJ, before being hired by Flamengo in 1984. The professional remained in Mais Querido until 1989, when he agreed with Bayer Leverkusen (GER). Thus, he was part of the squad that won the Brazilian Championship in 1987, a title that Sport still tries, in court, to proclaim itself as the trophy holder.

— I will never work at Sport. I am the 1987 Brazilian champion for Flamengo. I've said this and the Sport fans get upset. But it's a club that I have no possibility of going to work because I disagree —, the coach completed.

The career of Jorginho as a player continued at Kashima Antlers (JPN), before returning to Brazil, in 1998, to play for São Paulo. Soon after, the former Flamengo player went through rivals Vasco and Fluminense, ending his career in 2002, at the Laranjeiras team.

AND AS A COACH?

It didn't take long for Jorginho to start his coaching career, starting at América-RJ, in 2005. The professional went through Flamengo in 2013, when he won four of the seven matches in charge. The coach's last job was at Coritiba, in 2024. Since then, he has been without a club.
