Jorge's coaching style was heavily influenced during his time in Spain at FC Barcelona, and with the German Bundesliga academy additions, it is demanding and possession-based, with a lot of focus on technical and tactical details.
Players like Florian Wirtz, one of his former players and one of Germany's most hyped players, describe Jorge's impact on their professional career: "I already experienced the pre-orientation and scanning during my youth at FC Köln, where it was explicitly trained for one or two years. My youth coach (Jorge) came from the Spanish football school and placed great emphasis on it. When I watched my goal against Freiburg again, I immediately noticed how often I turned my head. It seems to have become second nature to me." Source
