"I'd already had instructions to draw up Brazil's preliminary squad"
Posso confessar aqui... Acabei por não ir treinar a seleção do Brasil, mas já tinha indicações para fazer a pré-convocatória para o jogo que havia em março, depois de terem perdido 4-1 com a Argentina.
TranslationI can confess this here... In the end I didn't go and coach the Brazil national team, but I'd already had instructions to draw up the preliminary squad for the match they had in March, after they lost 4-1 to Argentina.
In the same Canal 11 interview, Jorge Jesus reveals that he came closer to the Brazil bench than anyone ever knew — to the point of having already received instructions to prepare a list. The offer never materialised, and the job turned out to be a different one.
