After an air marathon from Portugal, with connections in Recife and Campinas, Jorge Jesús and his commission landed in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night. At Flamengo’s request, they were allowed to use an alternate exit at Santos Dumont airport, without going through the airport lounge.

The idea was to avoid any possibility of crowding. This Saturday, he and the players begin to test Covid-19, in Ninho do Urubu. The rest of the employees of the professional football department have already met this Friday.
The idea of the club is that it will be possible to resume training soon, but it still needs the approval of the authorities. Jorge Jesús commented on this situation and on the concern with the evolution of Covid-19 in Brazil.
– Let’s see what the authorities will say about the teams that return to training. They are workers like all other workers. Players have the advantage of trying, working outdoors. We have to be careful, this is not a joke. They asked me in Portugal if I was going to put myself in the eye of the storm when I return to Rio. We are going to do our programming day by day, he told FlaTV upon arrival in Rio.
Upon embarking in Lisbon, Jorge Jesús gave an interview to the Portuguese press. In it, he commented on the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, including the rise of the euro against the real, in the negotiation for the renewal of his contract.
– At this moment I have nothing in mind, I have to live day by day, know what will happen due to this epidemic and make decisions. I have two months, even for Flamengo leaders to decide what is best for them. We feel that we have created a great team. This is one of the factors that motivates me much more to continue and the way they have also treated me, said the coach.
