Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus has confirmed he had Premier League offers last season.

In an interview with Fox TV, the Portuguese coach explained that he could have been the successor of Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea.

"If it were for the money, I could have stayed at Al-Hilal.

"My agent wouldn't want me to come to Brazil. I could also have gone to clubs in England," he said.

Jorge Jesus also revealed he had been contacted by Newcastle following the departure of Rafael Benítez.
