Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus cools Everton rumours

Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus insists he's not had any contact from European clubs since taking charge earlier this year.

Having just led Fla to victory in the Copa Libertadores, Jorge Jesus is being linked with Everton.

But he says, "I don't know what will happen to my future after Flamengo. I know I have a contract until May. Then anything can happen.

"My focus is Flamengo. There is no possibility of communicating with me about another matter. They say many clubs talked to me. Even the World Cup has nothing, I do not talk to anyone.

"My focus now is on this project, this goal and Flamengo. I live the most beautiful year of my coaching career and I want to enjoy it to the fullest."

Marco Silva is understood to be in the dugout for Everton this weekend when they take on Leicester City.
