⚠️ Renato Gaúcho is no longer coach of Vasco
Renato Gaúcho has parted ways with Vasco da Gama after the team struggled recently. This decision comes just 18 days after the team's most recent match.
Renato Gaúcho has officially ended his third term at Vasco da Gama. The 63-year-old coach left the club on Thursday evening (18). This decision was made 18 days after the most recent Cruz-Maltino fight.
Vasco da Gama Club has announced that Renato Gaúcho is no longer head coach of the professional team. This decision was made after consensus between both parties. Vasco thanked the coach and coaching staff for their contributions during their third term at the club and wished them success in their upcoming careers.
In the contract signed between the parties there is no provision for early termination. Vasco went into the Brasileirão break with three straight losses, but Renato continued to lead the team. According to information from ge, the main reason for his departure was the criticism he had made about the squad in the previous weeks. Part of the players in the squad do not agree with this attitude. Statements about Colombian players also did not receive consensus.
Vasco football team will return to work on Monday (22). In the next 30 days, they will prepare for their next matches, including the match against Independiente Medellín in the Copa Sudamericana qualifiers. During his time leading Cruz-Maltino, Renato directed 22 matches, with 9 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, achieving a success rate of 50%. It started with positive results, including a win over Palmeiras and an impressive comeback against Fluminense, which helped the team recover in the tournament.
However, then came heavy defeats to Inter, a loss to Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana—which reduced their chances of progressing far in the tournament—and a loss at São Januário to RB Bragantino. The match considered "match of the year" is the encounter with Barras Central. Vasco qualified for the playoffs of Sudamericana, easing a difficult situation. However, another defeat at home followed, this time to Atlético-MG, and a crisis seemed to have been avoided before the Copa began. Vasco currently stands just inside the relegation zone of Brasileirão with 20 points. In addition to participating in the Sudamericana playoffs, they will face Fluminense in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
