SBT presenter Benjamin Back analyzed the recent change in command of the Brazilian National Team in a video published on his Instagram profile. Last Friday (28), Dorival Júnior was fired, and negotiations with Jorge Jesus were intensified. During his speech, Benja praised the Portuguese coach, highlighting his remarkable time at Flamengo .
"Since the 2022 World Cup, I've been saying that it's high time we had a foreign coach for the Brazilian national team. It's easy to solve. Who were the two best teams in Brazilian football in recent years? Flamengo and Palmeiras. And who changed the bar for Brazilian football? Jorge Jesus," he said.
Jorge Jesus as a reference in Brazil
For Benjamin Back, the 'Mister' remains a reference in Brazilian football, even five years after leaving the country.
"Jorge Jesus left Brazil five years ago, and yet people still talk about him every day . At Flamengo , he continues to be a reference . In Brazilian football, he became a reference. Jesus opened the doors of Brazilian football wide for Portuguese coaches," added the presenter.
The ideal name for the National Team?
Finally, Benja made it clear why he believes Jorge Jesus is the right choice to lead the Brazilian National Team.
"For my personal taste and for the style of play that the fans like , the coach has to be Jorge Jesus," he concluded.

According to a survey released by the Transfermarkt platform, Flamengo boasts four of the ten players who have lost the most market value in Brazil. The analysis takes into account each player's individual performance throughout the season and identifies the Rio de Janeiro club as the leader in the rankings.
Among the names mentioned are midfielder Nicolás De la Cruz and striker Pedro, who appear at the top of the list . Both have faced periods of instability and physical problems, determining factors in the drop in projected values.
Signed with high expectations, De la Cruz suffered from injuries and was unable to continue his strong start to his career at the club . His lack of rhythm directly impacted his market value, resulting in a drop of approximately €6 million compared to his previous value.
One of the most consistent scorers in Brazilian football in recent years, Pedro lost his place at the beginning of the season due to injuries and was even dropped from the squad following internal problems. Despite regaining prominence recently, his market value has dropped by around €2 million.
Left-back Viña also makes the rankings. Having only recovered from injury in the second half of the year, he competes for position with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, a factor that has contributed to his lack of performance. Michael , who also struggled with physical problems, became one of coach Filipe Luís's last attacking options, which explains his drop in rating.

Flamengo reported that Guillermo Varela, right-back for the Uruguayan national team, was released after Uruguay qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup . The player presented with pubalgia and will be re-evaluated by the Flamengo medical department.
According to the official statement, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, the club's doctor, maintained constant contact with the Uruguayan Football Association's medical team to monitor the athlete's situation.
In addition to Varela, midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta also returns to the squad. Despite not presenting any medical problems, the player was rested for Uruguay's second match on this FIFA World Cup . The club expressed its gratitude for the cooperation between the medical departments of both the Celeste and Rubro-Negro teams.
The break in national championships between September 1st and 10th is due to the FIFA Date , intended for the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. There was an expectation that the elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG would create a longer interval between commitments, but the changes promoted by the CBF reduced the space in Mengão's schedule.
Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The club seeks to end a long fast in Caxias do Sul , since the last victory there occurred on October 1, 1997, when they won 1-0 after an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
Mengão fans are mobilizing to fill the Maracanã stadium for the first leg of the quarterfinals against Estudiantes; the stadium is expected to sell out before the general sale.
