Jorge Jesus: I Don't Coach Based on Reputation; Form Determines Playing Time for Portugal
New Portugal national team head coach Jorge Jesus gave an interview to Canal 11, addressing his coaching philosophy and plans. He stated that the September squad will not see major changes, with only two or three new faces, due to limited time and player pool. Jesus emphasized that he does not consider player reputation when selecting the team; instead, he prioritizes current form and 100% fitness. He acknowledged that some players have different status due to history but insisted rules are equal for all. Jesus also discussed his close ties to Portuguese clubs, including lower-division Amora FC, and his ongoing communication with club coaches like Roberto Martínez. He expressed confidence in his ability but noted that an abundance of high-quality players can create doubts. The interview covered his experience, standards, and concerns about getting the team to perform at its expected level.
