“As of today, I am no longer the coach of Fenerbahçe,” Jorge Jesus, a Portuguese specialist who managed the club for three years, declared after the Turkish Cup final on Sunday night. The coach, who led Benfica to win three titles in his homeland, won the Libertadores Cup with Brazilian team Flamengo in 2019 before joining the Turks last summer.
“I haven’t made up my mind now, I told the club president a few weeks ago that I won’t extend my contract, which expires at the end of the season, because I feel like I need new motivations. For now, I’m going back to Portugal, and I hope I can fulfill my dream,” said Jorge Jesus. .
He hasn’t spoken about his dream, but the truth is that the 68-year-old has never managed a national team even once during his long career.
According to press reports from Italy, Jesus will not spend much time resting at home, because he will be in charge of the Saudi national team until the 2026 World Cup, which is expected to lead the team at the helm to the tournament jointly organized by Canada, America and Mexico.
At the same time, the Portuguese A Bola writes that there is also the option of Jesus returning to Brazil and taking over the management of the Silicao.
As of now, there is no news that he will replace the late Jorge Jesus at Fenerbahce.
