My Take
Jorge Jesus is one of those managers who seem to run on pure emotion. A journeyman player across thirteen clubs who reinvented himself as a coach and conquered Portugal and then Brazil, where Flamengo fans treat him like a folk hero. What I admire is his refusal to slow down: into his seventies and still prowling the touchline, still demanding attacking football, now in Saudi Arabia. There is something stubborn and romantic about a man who never stopped chasing the next title. I love that football still has characters who shout, gesture, and care this loudly. Long may he rage.
