Sporting CP v CSKA Moscow - UEFA Champions League: Qualifying Round Play Off First Leg
Jorge Jesus left Benfica to manage Sporting CP
I’m grateful to Jorge Jesus for the ingratitude he showed us. He showed us we deserve to change.

These were the words through which Jorge Jesus garnered the hatred of Benfica's director Joao Gabriel. The Portuguese manager deemed it fit to join rivals Sporting CP after leaving Benfica in 2015.

Jesus was an instrumental part of the success Benfica achieved during his tenure at the club. He won a host of domestic trophies while glorifying the club with the Uefa Europa League trophy in season 2013-14. However, money seemed to be an important factor in the coach's departure to bitter rivals after six years at the club.

While the Benfica officials haven't yet forgiven Jorge Jesus for shaking hands with Sporting CP, the Portuguese manager has failed to replicate the amount of success since joining Lisbon. Since 2015, he has succeeded in winning only a single trophy for Sporting.

Carrying out the deed of Judas after being named Jesus. Wow, what irony!
