Turkish Süper Lig giant Fenerbahçe has appointed former Benfica coach Jorge Jesus as its new head coach.

The 67-year-old Portuguese has been offered a guaranteed 3-million euro ($3.2 million), one-year deal.

He will take the helm at the Istanbul-based club for the 2022-23 season.

Jesus has coached some 15 teams around the world, including Braga, Benfica, Sporting CP Lisbon, Al-Hilal and Flamengo, in his 33-year career.

He has averaged 2.04 points in 834 official matches and has a total of 19 national and international trophies to his name.

"We hope Fenerbahçe coach Jorge Jesus will give us a season that will go down in the history of our celebrated club and fans," the club said in a statement.

Jesus will replace interim manager Ismail Kartal, who led the team to a second-place finish after taking over from Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira.
