Bruno Spindel spoke to the press in Rio de Janeiro this Friday before his trip to Portugal.
Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, vice president and executive director for football at Flamengo, respectively, arrive in Lisbon this Saturday. In the suitcase, they bring an open desire: to repatriate Jorge Jesus to the club. Before leaving for the Portuguese capital, Spindel spoke to the press in Rio de Janeiro and confirmed that he has a meeting scheduled with the current commander of Benfica.
“The idea is this [ter uma conversa com o Jorge Jesus]. He has a beautiful history in Flamengo. There is a great friendship with me, with Marcos [Braz], with the president, with a lot of people in Flamengo. With the technical team too. He did a very successful job. He is a fantastic person, an outstanding coach and there is nothing fairer than talking to the manager and understanding the possibilities, the plans and of course we would like him to be with us at Flamengo to make more history. We would like him to be here with us once again”, detailed the red-black leader.
Asked if Jorge Jesus would be the priority on the Flamengo delegation’s trip to Portugal, Bruno Spindel didn’t go straight.
“I won’t say it’s a priority. We have to have that conversation. We would like him to be here with us once more. We know he has a contract with Benfica and this is a difficult window for European coaches. The season ends in the middle of the year. and it’s difficult to hire,” he said.
The Game found that the two leaders will argue the argument that Jesus has been the target in Luz, as happened again in the League Cup game, against Covilhã, in which the eagles even stamped the passage to the final four of the competition . In addition, Braz and Spindel are aware of Benfica’s calendar, in which they have two games against FC Porto, both at Dragão, before the end of the year, one for the Portuguese Cup and another for the championship, which they believe can influence the decision of the coach and… Benfica.
Aware that the hiring of Jorge Jesus is difficult, those responsible for the mengão, who is without a coach, have two more Portuguese names in mind. Carlos Carvalhal has already been discussed, but the Braga coach’s ten million euro termination clause complicates it. Paulo Sousa, coach of Poland, is another target that FL pleases and that will also be tried during this “tour” in Europe.
