“When I spoke about a dream, it was to be in another competition. To be in a World Cup, I was in the Champions League, in the Europa League. Nobody from Brazil talked to me, let’s not speculate. They haven’t spoken to me yet.” he owns
“Three weeks and my life has to be decided, Let’s see what happens till the end of the month. I do not know either”he declared.

Jorge Jesus carries Fenerbahçe in his heart and does not forget the gestures of love that he always gives him: “I want to make Fenerbahçe feel that he is not exchanging it for anything, but for another competition. Fenerbahçe is very loving. They even offered me a tribute dinner. Istanbul is a beautiful city. I left a team that valued me and loved me. The president even told me ‘you’ll be back’.”
His future seems more promising than ever, away from Portugal and the European leagues. Saudi is waiting for you.
