Portugal Names Jesus as New Coach

Robert Martínez stepped down as Portugal coach yesterday after the team's defeat to Spain and subsequent elimination from the World Cup. The Catalan coach, who had been in charge for three years, decided not to renew his contract.

Among the candidates, Jorge Jesus, 71, who is currently without a club, has emerged as the front-runner for the position. Jesus is considered an 'old acquaintance' of Cristiano Ronaldo, having worked with the star player at other clubs. albergomalica.it
