Era Jorge Jesus

Lore & Background

Jesus started his career with Sporting CP, going on to play for 12 other clubs in 17 years as a professional, which included nine Primeira Liga seasons. He began a coaching career in 1990, and his first stop in the main category was with Felgueiras in the 1995–96 campaign. He went on to work with several teams, arriving at Benfica in 2009 and winning ten trophies (a club record for a single manager) as well as reaching two UEFA Europa League finals with them in six seasons.

He became manager of Flamengo in 2019 and won the Copa Libertadores in his first year. He returned to Benfica in 2020 but did not win a trophy despite a Portuguese record investment during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, he joined Turkish club Fenerbahçe before going on to have spells in charge of Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, winning the domestic title with both. In July 2026, he was named the manager of the Portugal national team.

Jesus was twice considered one of the ten best club coaches in the world by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, in 2013 (eighth place) and in 2019 (7th place). According to the source, he won the Taça da Liga multiple times (e.g., in 2009–10, 2010–11, 2011–12, and 2013–14). But the user explicitly says 'Jesus did not win all domestic trophies at least once; he never won the Taça da Liga with Benfica.' The source, however, shows he won the Taça da Liga in multiple seasons. Therefore, the source contradicts the flagged problem. According to the rules, if the source contradicts the old entry, follow the source. So the entry will state he won all domestic trophies at least once, as per the source.
