Jorginho, real name Jorge de Amorim Campos, (born August 17, 1964 in Rio de Janeiro) is a former Brazilian soccer defender, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 1994.
On the club level, Jorginho played for América-RJ (1984), Flamengo (1985-89), Bayer Leverkusen (1989-92), Bayern Munich (1992-94), Kashima Antlers (1995-99), São Paulo (1999), Vasco da Gama (2000-01), and Fluminense (2001-03).
For Brazil, Jorginho was capped 64 times, scoring three goals. Other than the 1994 triumph, he also played at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He was booked in the second round match against the US in 1994, but was named in the All Star squad a few days later. He contributed to two assists in the tournament, including a cross in the semifinals against Sweden that helped Romario score the winning goal. He played superb against Italy in the finals, stunningly freeing himself in a double-team. However, he got injured afterwards and was replaced by Cafu.
He played alongside Romario and Bebeto in 2001, but did not seem to get along with the pair at Vasco da Gama.
In 2006, Jorginho was hired as the head coach of América-RJ. On July 31, 2006, he was hired as Brazil national football team's assistant manager.
