Coach confident
Jesus takes charge of a Moreirense side lying second from bottom in the Portuguese SuperLiga with just five wins all season. Sunday's 1-0 home defeat by CF Os Belenenses was their 12th loss of the campaign, but Jesus is adamant his new side can avoid relegation.
'Many challenges'
"A coach's career is made up of many challenges," said the 50-year-old Jesus, who spent last season with Vitória SC. "I am used to that and I am sure I will win this one. I am determined and confident about the task ahead and we will try to remain in the SuperLiga."
