Champion with PSG
A former striker with Porto, Benfica and Belenenses, Artur Jorge, who turned 78 on February 13, enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a coach, including two spells with Paris-SG (1991-1994 then 1998-99), FC Porto (1984-1987), Matra-Racing (1987-1989), Benfica (1994-95) and the Portuguese national team (1996-97).

Artur Jorge won the 1987 Champions Cup with Porto, thanks to a brilliant back-heel from Rabah Madjer (2-1 win over Bayern Munich). The Portuguese coach also won the French Cup in 1993 and the French Championship in 1994 as PSG coach. His latest assignment? At the helm of Mouloudia d’Alger in 2014-2015.
