Jorge Jesus entered the agenda to become coach of the Brazilian national team. Nothing more natural.
Regardless of not having won titles after leaving Flamengo, the Portuguese left a mark.
And this brand is very strong. The hallmark of imposing football, which leverages talent. Made history.
Although a kind of selective amnesia strikes some, it’s possible to remember what JJ did here. Just want.
Your team won. It is like. Palmeiras lost three times (twice), Corinthians four and Grêmio five.
Two former coaches of the Brazilian national team were fired after defeats to the Portuguese. The one who had won the Série A two years earlier as well.
He won the Libertadores winning what was the best team in America for years until then. Less than 24 hours later, he won the Brasileirão with a record number of points.
Isn’t Jorge Jesus a first shelf technician? No. And the last three world champions are?
Joachim Löw, Didier Deschamps and Lionel Scaloni are not men quoted to command the most expensive teams in the world. They never were.
Why national teams are not coached by “elite” coaches. The clubs with the most power attract the best.
Selections are, yes, with the group of the shelves below. Thinking of a huge name means a huge chance of failure.
The problem is not going after Jorge Jesus, feasible, proven capable and with history in Brazil. The problem is dreaming about the Real Madrid coach.
In time: the CBF still hasn’t given up hiring Carlo Ancelotti. Thinking big is very good, but the chance of having to go to plan B is considerable.
