Sad news reached the training camp of South American champions "Flamengo" - the 65-year-old coach of the team Jorge Jesus has tested positive for coronavirus.
The Portuguese football specialist announced this on his Instagram account.
"It is true that my COVID-19 test was positive. It is also true that I am currently in normal condition. I feel the same as I felt a month, a year, two, three, or four months ago... I do not feel absolutely any symptoms.
Since the test was positive, I will be in quarantine in the near future. I want to thank my friends and "Flamengo" fans for their support. I think everything will be resolved in a few days. Sending my kisses to everyone. I am full of confidence," the coach said in the video.
J. Jesus is the second high-level coach to have been diagnosed with coronavirus. Former Mikelis Arteta also contracted the virus.
