Jorge Jesus and Sérgio Conceição, remember, had a disagreement at the end of a classic between FC Porto and Benfica, at Dragão, in the former Flamengo coach’s second spell at Luz. About a year ago, in an interview with Canal 11, Jorge Jesus spoke about the episode.

«I had an almost family relationship with Sérgio Conceição, but we had a stupid episode, which happens between coaches, especially at the end of the game, and we never got back together. Today I see things differently and I feel sorry. Life today is not enough for people to get upset. Sérgio Conceição is 50 years old and takes things in a very intense way, as I did at his age. I’m already a different age and I look at things differently», he confessed.

About a year after these statements – and five years after the discussion – Jorge Jesus and Sérgio Conceição will have left the disagreement behind, as evidenced by the image released by the helmsman of the Al Nassr on social media.
