Media: Sudden turnaround in the Sousa case. He fooled himself and he will stay on the ice?

informed the president of the Polish Football Association on Sunday that he wanted to leave the Polish national team and terminate the contract by mutual agreement. he did not agree to it. He was not convinced by the argument that the Portuguese received an offer from Flamengo, which he describes as one of the best clubs in the world. He could thus take advantage of the fact that Flamengo failed to bring Jorge Jesus from Benfica.

This is how it was just a few days ago. The situation drastically changed on Tuesday morning. Portuguese television SIC informs that Jorge Jesus will be fired soon, although a few days ago it seemed that Jesus would have to stay at the Lisbon club at least until the end of the season.

Paulo Sousa will stay on the ice?

According to the Portuguese media, the Benfica authorities were to consider that the loss of four points to Porto and Sporting was enough to fire Jesus. In their opinion, it will not be possible to make up for the losses under the current coach and therefore he is to be officially dismissed in the next few hours.

Why does this change the situation of Paulo Sousa? It was Jorge Jesus who was supposed to be Flamengo’s first choice. The Brazilian club’s authorities were about to resign from him when it became known that Benfica would not fire him from his club. Now Jesus could take a job in Brazil, and the biggest victim of all the confusion would be … Paulo Sousa. In the current situation, it seems impossible for the Portuguese to continue to lead the Polish national team in the play-off matches for the trip to the World Cup in Qatar.

The more so that, as Kacper Sosnowski, a journalist from Sport.pl wrote on Monday, there are five names on it, including Czesław Michniewicz, Adam Nawałka and Michał Prociąg. However, the PZPN receives proposals all the time, which means that the list may grow even more.
