Jorge Jesus confirms Al Nassr exit: “Thinking of Rio”

Jorge Jesus won the Saudi league title this Thursday (21)

The Mister is going back to Rio de Janeiro! Calm down, fans, Jorge Jesus is not reaching an agreement with Flamengo. The coach announced that he intends to spend a few days in Brazil after winning the Saudi Championship this Thursday (21) with Al Nassr (SAU), Cristiano Ronaldo’s club. In addition, the Portuguese manager confirmed that he is leaving the Asian club.

— It’s a victory for everyone. It was a difficult project. When I accepted this challenge, I knew it would be difficult because on the other side there was Al-Hilal (SAU), which I practically helped build into a great team. And to beat Al-Hilal we would have to be much better. And we were, because we built a very united group. This is a victory for everyone and especially for Cris, who still hadn’t won any title in Saudi Arabia — he said in an interview with the “Goat” channel.

— And I only accepted this challenge because I told him: “I’m going to help you become champions, we’re going to win the title, and then I’m leaving, which is the case. It’s over.” For me, it’s over. It was the last game I managed for Al-Nassr. I’m going to Portugal, I’ll spend two or four days on vacation in Portugal. Then I’m thinking of going to Brazil, I’m thinking of going to Rio (laughs). Yes, but not to coach. I’m only going to Brazil to spend my vacation — added the former Flamengo coach.

HOW WAS JORGE JESUS’ SPELL AT FLAMENGO?

In just over a year in charge of Flamengo, between 2019 and 2020, Jorge Jesus won a Brasileirão, a Libertadores, a Carioca, a Supercopa, and a Recopa. However, the Mister left the club because of the pandemic that frightened the world.
