- Benfica boss Jesus loses head after taking 3-1 lead at Spurs10:36 | 14/03/2014
It’s difficult to be diplomatic when talking about Jorge Jesus as a man.
‘Prickly’ is probably the most suitable term we could use to describe the Portuguese.
Jesus does not share his historical namesake’s patience; he is a bit of a hothead, and has a moody streak that Portuguese fans are well aware of.
He also is unlikely to be on Tim Sherwood’s Christmas card list after a provocative, disrespectful and entirely unnecessary three-fingered gesture after his Benfica side made it 3-1 in their Europa League last-16 first leg at White Hart Lane:Benfica taught Spurs a thing or two about European football, but Jesus needs to learn a thing or two about manners.
Say what you like about Sherwood but he is a young, honest coach in his first senior management job.
Benfica – and Jesus – have won plenty of titles, and were beaten finalists in the same competition last year.
Jesus should know better and, presuming his gesture was made in the heat of the moment, should have apologised to Sherwood instead of continuing with a verbal tirade.
Indeed, Jesus’ own staff remonstrated with their boss after the incident, and he responded by shoving and bawling at them.
Coming face-to-face with Sherwood though, he turned away. Wonder why that is?
There was no love lost at the final whistle as both men pointedly ignored each other. Needless to say there was no handshake.According to Eurosports
