Jorge Jesus Named New Head Coach of Portugal National Team

Jorge Jesus will take over as the head coach of the Portugal national football team, succeeding Roberto Martinez, who announced his departure at the end of his contract following the 2026 World Cup. The announcement was made by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on social media.

Jesus, aged 71, recently left his position at Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, where he achieved success by winning the league title. His appointment is part of a broader project that includes leading the team through the UEFA Nations League, Euro 2028, and the next World Cup.

Jesus's experience and previous success in managing top teams are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of Portuguese football.
