The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr team, reveals the outlines of his professional plans for the coming years, coinciding with his continued leadership of the team under a contract that extends until the summer of 2026.

Media reports indicate that Jesus has set a major goal in his coaching career, which is to take over as the coach of the Portugal national team after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup.

ESPN reported that the Portuguese coach aspires to succeed the current national team manager, Spaniard Roberto Martinez, who is expected to leave his position after the World Cup.

Jesus is considered one of the prominent names proposed to lead the Portuguese national team, alongside José Mourinho, the current Benfica coach, in a race expected to witness strong competition.

The forecasts suggest that Jesus may have a relative advantage in this race, especially with Mourinho being tied to a long-term contract with Benfica that extends until the summer of 2027.

In the event that he does not take on the task of coaching Portugal, Jesus is considering continuing with Al-Nassr by renewing his contract, aiming to achieve more championships with the team.

The Portuguese coach also aims to support his star Cristiano Ronaldo in his quest to reach the milestone of scoring 1,000 goals in his career, as he needs only 36 more goals to achieve this historic figure.

Despite these options, Jesus has not ruled out the idea of returning to Brazil in the future, with Flamengo remaining one of the most likely destinations, especially after his significant successes with the club, most notably winning the Copa Libertadores in 2019.
