After Portugal’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Jorge Jesus was appointed as the national team’s coach on July 10, succeeding Roberto Martínez. He revealed that he had discussions to coach Brazil following a significant defeat to Argentina last year but ultimately declined the opportunity. Jesus critiqued Carlo Ancelotti’s squad selection for the World Cup, emphasizing that Pedro, his former player at Flamengo, should have been included as the top center forward. He acknowledged he would have made only minor adjustments to Ancelotti’s lineup but agreed with most of the selections.
