Jorge Jesus on Portugal job and why he turned down Brazil in 2025 | OneFootball

What should Jorge Jesus’ next destination be?

Jorge Jesus left Al Nassr (SAU) after winning the Saudi Championship. Now, the Portuguese coach is a free agent on the transfer market. For now, he is hoping for an invitation to coach the Portugal national team.

— Who can say no to the national team? I already said no to one of the best national teams in the world, I can’t say no to another one — he said, before concluding:

— Could I have said yes to Brazil in January 2025? I could have, but at that moment I felt I should not abandon the challenges I had at hand with Al Hilal — he concluded.

Was Jorge Jesus close to becoming coach of the Brazilian National Team?

Yes! Jorge Jesus was contacted by Ednaldo Rodrigues, then president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). However, the former president later chose to sign Carlo Ancelotti instead.

What about Flamengo?

Flamengo is preparing for its next commitment of the season. This Tuesday (26), the Rubro-Negro faces Cusco (PER) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage.
