Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus ComIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒɔɾʒɨ ʒɨˈzuʃ];[2] born 24 July 1954) is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player, who is the manager of Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal.
He 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.
Jesus 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, winning all domestic trophies at least once) 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 and Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in his first year. He returned to Benfica in 2020 and did not win a single trophy despite a Portuguese record investment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He 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)[3] and in 2019 (7th place).[4]
