Brazilian press reports confirmed that the Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim decided to continue his mission with Cruzero, preferring to refuse the official offer made by the Emirates club Al -Jazira to include him in the current period.
Why did Jardim refuse to move to the Emirati island?
Al-Jazira Al-Emirati had sacked his Moroccan coach, Hussein Amouta, after the sudden loss against Khorfakkan 3-2 in the first round of the UAE league, before he went quickly to negotiate with Jardim. Despite this, the Portuguese coach informed the Cruzero administration of the offer he received, confirming that he did not want to leave and adhere to the team’s project.
The relationship between Jardim and Cruzeiro administration
It was reported that the close relationship that brings Jardem to the club president Pedrinho played a major role in his decision, as the coach believes that the administrative vision is in line with his ambitions, which strengthened his confidence in continuing with the team.
Jardim Results with Cruzero so far
Since his assumption of the mission, Jardim led the team to achieve positive results in the Brazilian League and the Brazil Cup, and has also contributed to the development of a group of young players who attracted the club’s interest inside and outside Brazil.
Did Crosero receive official offers for his coach?
On the other hand, club vice president Pedro Jeno denied in radio statements the existence of any Arab or foreign offers regarding Jardim, stressing that the administration has not received any official communication in this regard, and that it is completely satisfied with his stay at the head of the technical staff.
