Jorge Penna was a Brazilian football manager.
Coaching career
The first mention of Penna's foray into international football management came when he was appointed manager of the Jamaica national football team in 1962.[1][2] He appears to have had a brief stint as manager of the Nigeria national football team between 1963 and 1964, before a return to Jamaica for 1966 FIFA World Cup qualification games in 1965.[3]
After another short stint as manager of Nigeria, it is not clear what happened to Penna, though it is believed he since died.[3]
