Paulo Futre backing Benfica coach Jorge Jesus for Barcelona job

Atletico Madrid legend Paulo Futre can see Benfica coach Jorge Jesus moving to Barcelona.

Interestingly, Jesus' agent, Jorge Mendes, has a close relationship with Barca presidential candidate Joan Laporta.

Futre said: "It will depend on how much silverware Luis Enrique wins, but if he wins the league and not the Champions League, even that might be enough for him to leave.

"Laporta is going to come back."
