“Jorge Jesus set to be Portugal boss, Pepe tipped as assistant” | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa, executive director of Correio da Manhã Rádio, said this Wednesday on the program ‘Mercado Now’ that Jorge Jesus “is already Portugal’s national team manager” and that his presentation could take place on Friday, by the Portuguese Football Federation. The Now commentator also revealed that Pepe, the former Portugal international, is expected to join Jorge Jesus’s coaching staff.

“Jorge Jesus is already Portugal’s national team manager. The Federation is preparing to announce it on Friday, the day that marks 10 years since Portugal won the European Championship in France. Let’s see if it is confirmed,” he said, adding: “Jorge Jesus invited Pepe to be his assistant. Everything indicates that he will be one of Jorge Jesus’s assistants. He is going to sign a four-year contract; it is just a matter of the Federation making the announcement.”

Pedro Sousa also spoke about Roberto Martínez’s contract, revealing that the former manager “could have left for 50%”: “Roberto Martínez had a contract with several particularities. He was not even earning 4 million euros gross per year. He could have left for 50%; the clause was reciprocal. If he had wanted to leave, he would also have had to compensate the federation with 50% of the remainder of the contract. This needs to be said.”
