Breaking! Jorge Jesus chosen to replace Roberto Martínez as Portugal boss | OneFootball

Portugal were knocked out early from the World Cup by Spain, after going no further than the round of 16. Roberto Martínez took charge of his final match for the Portuguese national team, and Pedro Proença has already decided on his replacement: Jorge Jesus.

The former Sporting and Al Nassr manager is the chosen one to take charge of the Seleção. The 71-year-old coach was picked by the president of the Portuguese Football Federation to begin a new chapter with the national team.

He is the leading candidate to lead the national team in the next cycle, which includes two major competitions: Euro 2028 and the 2030 World Cup. It is worth noting that Portugal will be one of the hosts of the next World Cup, alongside Spain and Morocco.

He comes after recently leaving his role as Al Nassr manager. He won the Saudi title alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

In addition to his spell in the Middle East, which included his stint at Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus has managed Amora, Felgueiras, União da Madeira, Estrela da Amadora, Vitória de Setúbal, Vitória de Guimarães, Moreirense, União de Leiria, Belenenses, Braga, Benfica, Sporting, Flamengo and Fenerbahçe.
