Having started his career at Italian side Hellas Verona before switching to Napoli in 2014, Jorginho won the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup and Club World Cup titles during his time at Chelsea."Jorginho's first assignment with Flamengo will be at the Club World Cup," the Brazilian Serie A club said.
