Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒɔɾʒ ʒəˈzuʃ];[1] born 24 July 1954) is a former Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current coach of Sporting CP.

He started his career with Sporting, going on to play for 12 other clubs in 17 years as a professional, which included nine Primeira Liga seasons.

In 1990 Jesus began a coaching career, 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 major titles (club record) and reaching two UEFA Europa League finals during his spell with the Eagles.

Playing career

Jesus, son of Virgolino António de Jesus who played for Sporting CP in the 1940s, was born in Amadora, Lisbon, and finished his football formation with the same club, making his top flight debut with S.C. Olhanense on loan from the Lions.

He played with Sporting's first team in the 1975–76 season, appearing in 12 matches and starting once as the Lisbon club finished in fifth place.[2] Subsequently released, he played in the country's top flight in seven of the following eight years, representing C.F. Os Belenenses, Grupo Desportivo Riopele, Juventude de Évora, União de Leiria, Vitória de Setúbal and S.C. Farense, amassing totals in the category of 166 games and 14 goals.

Jesus retired in 1989 at the age of 35, after spells in the second (mainly with his hometown C.F. Estrela da Amadora) and third levels.

Managerial career

Early years

After starting as a manager with lowly Amora FC, Jesus moved in November 1993 to F.C. Felgueiras as a replacement for Rodolfo Reis, helping the club promote to the top flight in his second season and being in and out of the team until January 1998, with Felgueiras back in division two.[3][4]

Subsequently he led former team Estrela da Amadora to two consecutive eighth-place finishes in the first division and, in quick succession, managed both Vitória de Setúbal and Amadora, celebrating top flight promotions with both even though he was fired by the latter in March 2003.[5][6] In 2003–04 he helped Vitória de Guimarães narrowly avoid relegation, finishing two points ahead of first relegated team F.C. Alverca.[7]

In the following four years, always in division one, Jesus was in charge of Moreirense FC (suffering relegation), União de Leiria and Belenenses, finishing fifth with the latter and qualifying to the UEFA Cup, and adding a presence in the 2007 Portuguese Cup final, losing 0–1 to Sporting.[8][9]

On 20 May 2008, one day after leaving Belenenses, Jesus took over at S.C. Braga, leading the Minho side to the fifth position in the league and the round-of-16 in the UEFA Cup.[10] Highlights in the latter competition included a 3–0 home win against Portsmouth[11] and a last-minute 0–1 defeat to A.C. Milan at the San Siro.[12] He won the last edition of the UEFA Intertoto Cup, something never achieved by other Portuguese club.[13]

2009–10 season

On 17 June 2009, Jesus replaced Quique Flores at the helm of S.L. Benfica.[14] In his first year he led the Eagles to the first division title after a five-year wait, with only two league defeats and 78 goals scored,[15] also reaching the quarter-finals in the Europa League, losing to Liverpool on a 3–5 aggregate score (this would be the last match Benfica would lose in a run that lasted 27 games); he quickly implemented a 4–1–3–2 formation which resulted in highly attractive football.[16]

On 5 October 2009 Jesus achieved his 100th victory in the Portuguese League, in a 3–1 home win against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[17] The following month he experienced his first Derby de Lisboa, which ended in a 0–0 away draw; at the end of the victorious campaign, which also brought the domestic League Cup, the coach was rewarded with a new contract extension, running until 2013.[18][19]

2010–11 season

After a 2–0 win at VfB Stuttgart for the season's Europa League (4–1 on aggregate), Benfica's first ever victory in Germany, Jesus surpassed the record held by Jimmy Hagan's 1972–73 team, with 16 consecutive wins.[20] During the league campaign, which started without departed Ángel Di María and Ramires, the lack of rotation caused a major fatigue in the most used players[21][22] and the club only conquer the League Cup.[23]

2011–12 season

In the 2011–12 season, Jesus guided Benfica to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and second place in the league, and won the club's fourth League Cup.

2012–13 season

On 10 December 2012, after a 3–1 away victory against Sporting, Jesus became the most successful Portuguese coach in the capital derby with seven wins in a total of nine, surpassing Toni (6/10).[24] On 26 January of the following year he defeated former side Braga at the Estádio Municipal de Braga for the first time, after three defeats and one draw.[25] He briefly led the league with a five-point advantage[26] but did not maintain it, finishing in the second place again. He did, however, led the team to a fourth League Cup,[27] and to the knockout rounds of the 2011–12 Champions League, defeating FC Zenit Saint Petersburg first,[28][29] before losing to Chelsea, in the quarter-finals.[30]

On 15 March 2013, in a match against FC Girondins de Bordeaux for the campaign's Europa League, Jesus reached the 200 game-milestone with Benfica, becoming the sixth coach in the club's history to do so.[31] During the season he led the club to its first European final in 23 years: after coming third in its group in the UEFA Champions League, the side reached the final of the Europa League, losing 1–2 to European champions Chelsea.[32][33] Domestically, Benfica finished second in the league despite leading up to second to last day,[34] and reached the final of the Portuguese Cup, their first since 2004–05, suffering an unexpected defeat at the hands of Guimarães;[35] these losses added great pressure on the coach, as the club ended the season trophyless for the first time since 2007–08.[36]

2013–14 season

On 4 June 2013, Jesus renewed his contract for a further two seasons.[37] When police attempted to clear Benfica supporters from the pitch at the end of a match at Guimarães in September, he became physically involved, taking the side of supporters while obstructing the police.[38] The Portuguese Football Federation gave him a 30-day suspension, which meant he would miss four league matches, and fined him €5,355.[39] On 11 February 2014, Jesus won his tenth game (2–0) against Sporting, which draw two and won only one as an opposing coach.[40] On 20 March, he surpassed John Mortimore's 1985–86 record of 918 minutes without conceding a goal at home matches.[41]

Jesus led Benfica to its 33rd title on 20 April 2014, and became the second Portuguese coach to win two national championships for the club after Toni.[42] Four days earlier the team had beat FC Porto 3–1 in spite of being reduced to ten men with 1 hour left to play, thus reaching the final of the Portuguese Cup for the second consecutive time.[43] On 28 April 2014, Jesus managed to put Benfica in another final, that of the domestic League Cup, eliminating Porto at the Dragão on penalties in spite of being reduced to ten men with 1 hour left to play again.[44] The trophy was won at Leiria on 7 May against Rio Ave FC, securing his fourth in the competition and the club's fifth.[45] On 1 May 2014, Jesus helped the club progress to its second consecutive Europa League final, by defeating Juventus 2–1 on aggregate after a goalless draw in Turin.[46] The Portuguese lost on penalties 13 days later in the same city to Sevilla FC[47][48] and he stated that referee Felix Brych overlooked three penalty decisions for Benfica.[49] On 18 May 2014, after seeing out Rio Ave in the Portuguese Cup final, Jesus became the first Portuguese coach and the seventh overall to win the double for Benfica (the tenth in the club's history).[50] He also became the first coach in Portugal to conquer the domestic treble in one season (the club's first ever).[51]

2014–15 season

On 10 August 2014, Jesus won its first Supertaça, as he surpassed János Biri as the coach with most matches at Benfica (273) and also tied with Cosme Damião in number of trophies won (8), surpassing both János Biri and Otto Glória. He became the only coach to win all four Portuguese competitions (furthermore, in a year).[52][53][54] He continued to break club records, becoming the coach with most victories (195) on 27 September 2014, in a win against Estoril.[55] On 18 January 2015, Jesus reached the 300th game milestone at Benfica, with the highest winning percentage since Jimmy Hagan in the early 1970s,[56] and on 26 April he surpassed Otto Glória as the coach with the most league matches at Benfica.[57] On 17 May 2015, Jesus guided the club to its second consecutive league title, making it the first time Benfica won back-to-back league titles since 1984 (31 years), after Sven-Göran Eriksson, and became the first Portuguese coach to win two consecutive league titles at Benfica.[58][59][60] On 29 May 2015, he won the his fifth Taça da Liga (the club's sixth), and became the Benfica coach with most titles won (10) and the only to win 3 titles in two consecutive seasons.[61][62] On 4 June 2015, Benfica announced they had concluded negotiations on a possible renewal of contract with Jesus, whose contract ended on 30 June.[63]

Sporting CP

On 5 June 2015, Jesus signed a three-year contract with Benfica's Lisbon rivals Sporting CP,[64] earning €5 million per year.[65] His first official match as Sporting coach was a Derby de Lisboa encounter with Benfica in the 2015 Supertaça, which Sporting won 1–0.[66] Despite a positive start, he then failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League and did not win any other competition, finishing second in the Primeira Liga with 86 points, two points behind Benfica.

Personal life

Jesus married his second wife, Ivone, in 1991, and the couple had a son, Mauro (born 1994). From his previous marriage, he had a daughter Tânia (1977) and a son Gonçalo (1979).[67]

He had over €1 million invested in the Banco Privado Português (BPP) when it went bankrupt in 2009.[68] He recovered eighty percent of that amount in March 2014.[69]
