Jorge Jesús rules out the possibility of returning to Portugal to train a club in the I Liga. “I left Portugal three times, I was in Saudi Arabia, I won titles, I was in Brazil and I won titles… Portugal is out of the question at the moment,” said the Portuguese coach who arrived in Portugal on Tuesday after leaving office.

Just after the last game for the Turks, Jesús spoke of “fulfilling a dream” and now he came to explain what he meant by that.
“The dream is to try to play a world championship with national teams, that’s all. I’ve been in other competitions. I’ve never been in a World Championship. It was a long season. They were 12 months in June, it’s not normal, three pre-seasons, an earthquake that made the teams win games without playing. Good experience. Istanbul is a beautiful city. I left a team that appreciated and loved me. Let’s see what happens until the end of the month, I don’t know either”, said the coach, at the airport Humberto Delgado.
The coach has already been on the path of the Brazilian team on several occasions, but he guarantees: “Nobody has ever spoken to me about Brazil, let’s not speculate. They have never spoken to me.”
The coach limits himself to assuming that now he wants a new experience in life: “When I said that a dream was to be a different competition. Being in a World Cup, I have been in the Champions League, the Europa League. I wanted to do it. Fenerbahçe feels that it change for anything, except for differentiated competition”.
Upon his arrival in Lisbon, Jorge Jesus was also asked if he knows the Turkish midfielder Orkun Kokçu, the latest signing of the eagles, well, but he limited himself to saying that “the Benfica coach has to know him”.
The future of Jorge Jesús should be known at the end of June. The coach ended his relationship with Fenerbahçe this Sunday after a season training in Turkey.
