In a recent interview, the 65-year-old claimed he received a plethora of European offers but wouldn’t reject another chance to take over the Italian giants.
“In the past offers I had offers from Atletico, Valencia, Monaco, and Milan,” he said.
“Who normally turns down Milan? I did. Today, I would not do it again. But at that time I rejected because I was a well-paid coach.”
Jesus also previously led Benfica to back-to-back Europa League finals in 2013 and 2014.
