Jesus turns 66 this week

Jesus, who turns 66 this week, landed at Tires aerodrome, in the municipality of Cascais, near Lisbon, around noon on Tuesday, on a flight that also carried the president of Benfica, Luís Filipe Vieira.

Vieira went to Brazil to pick up the coach, who is leaving Flamengo to return to training the eagles five years after his departure, a comeback that has generated enormous interest in Portugal and has been broadcast live on some television channels.

The coach was accompanied by his son Mauro and his lawyer, Luís Miguel Henrique, who underwent a Covid test before getting into a car to go to Lisbon.

The coach is seen as the great hope of the club to come back and recover the league title, and this has been demonstrated by dozens of fans who have displayed large banners to welcome him.

Several of them ran alongside some journalists next to the car in which Jorge Jesus left the premises, but he refused to make any statements.

According to the Portuguese sports press, his contract will be for three seasons and will bring him annual income of eight million euros.
