Sérgio Conceição: Jorge Jesus is a top five Portuguese manager

Sérgio Conceição leveled the head-to-head record in his 20th encounter with Jorge Jesus: there are now 7 wins for each and 6 draws. At the end of the Al Nassr-Al Ittihad (1-2) match, Sérgio went to Jorge at the center of the pitch, greeted him and hugged him, exchanging a few words as well.

Later, he publicly praised him. “I have the utmost respect for Jorge Jesus. He was my coach and, in my opinion, is one of the five best managers in the history of Portuguese football. He has done exceptional work, winning with every team he has coached. And today? We only won a game, we haven’t achieved anything yet,” he pointed out.
