Jorge Jesus disrespects Sporting; manager's words went down badly | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus commented on the possibility of Marco Silva taking over as Benfica’s head coach and made a remark that is causing quite a stir, stating that the current Fulham manager “has never coached a big team”, despite having already managed Sporting.

Jorge Jesus - who is on his way out of Al Nassr - began by highlighting the importance of choosing a coach at a top club: “Whoever makes the choice believes in what they are doing. The most important piece in a team is the coach. From the moment you don’t get the coach right, everything becomes more complicated. The coach gets sacked, even the president can go,” he said upon arriving at Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon.

However, it was his analysis of Marco Silva’s career path that ended up defining the Portuguese coach’s remarks: “He is a coach who has already worked in Portugal, he has never coached a big team, but he also hasn’t coached a big team in England either, which Fulham is not,” he said.

“I believe in Marco Silva’s work,” he said, at a time when the coach’s name continues to be mentioned as a possible successor to José Mourinho at the Luz.
