Jorge Jesus asked about Pepe: “He’s a name I could fancy, yes” | OneFootball

Pepe was invited to join the coaching staff? “My coaching staff will be made up of myself and the national team. As for Pepe, I’ve never spoken to him. Even so, if you ask me whether he’s a name that would appeal to me, he is. Why? Because this is nothing new in the national team. When I arrive at clubs... I’ll give you an example: in my second spell at Benfica, I brought in Luisão to be part of my coaching staff. In Saudi Arabia, at Al Nassr and Al Hilal, I brought in former players from those clubs. Pepe is a player who has all the right credentials because of the path he had with the national team, but the final decision is his. If he feels he wants to pursue other things, which I don’t know, someone else will come in. There may or may not be a choice, because the FPF also has former coaches who were part of Martínez’s staff. That’s not a major issue either.”
