A new chapter begins in the legendary career of Jorge Jesus.
Details: Today, on their official X social media page, the Portugal national team announced the appointment of Jorge Jesus as the new head coach. The experienced Portuguese tactician replaces Roberto Martinez, who stepped down after the team's disappointing World Cup campaign.
The 71-year-old coach returns to international football after a successful stint at the club level. His last job was with Al-Nassr, where he clinched the Saudi Pro League title.
Jesus has been tasked with preparing Portugal for upcoming major tournaments and restoring the team as a top contender for international silverware. His appointment marks a new era for the national side, which continues to rely on its star power led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese federation hopes that Jesus's experience and reputation will help the team successfully navigate the road to Euro 2028 and the next World Cup.
