Newcastle United’s interest in manager Jorge Jesus has been widely covered by the Brazilian and the Portuguese media in the past 24 hours.
The information was first brought by Goal and then backed up by Esporte Interativo, but the truth is that no other outlet managed to have more news on this approach.
Something that Newcastle fans will probably be interested in is that Bruno Andrade, the journalist who broke the news for Goal, was invited by Fox Sports last night to talk a little about the situation..
First of all, the reporter made it clear that Mauricio Pochettino is seen as Newcastle’s priority. The main reason for that is the experience the manager has in the Premier League.
Regarding Jorge Jesus, it’s said he’s looking for a club where he can win titles, and that’s moving him, instead of money.
That was the reason he didn’t accept Newcastle’s offer last summer, and things could change in case he receives a convincing project from the Magpies this time.
And even though it’s been previously claimed that Jorge Jesus doesn’t speak English, it’s now said that even though he isn’t a fluent speaker, his knowledge is enough to communicate and be in charge of a Premier League club.
Jorge Jesus’ contract with Flamengo expires in two months, and the manager is said not to be in a hurry to find a decision for his future.
