🤯 Bonkers idea: club in Brazil loans out manager | OneFootball

Players who are loaned to another club — for example to gain match practice — are perfectly normal in the football business. Loans of this kind are part of everyday life.

In Brazil, however, a highly unusual loan deal has now caused a stir. Second-division side Criciúma EC have loaned in a coach. ‘Sky’ reports this.

Umberto Louzer will take charge of the club until the end of the season. However, the 46-year-old will not be appointed permanently, but will instead join on loan from third-division side Guarani FC. The coach is still under contract there until the end of 2027.

The fact that he can work in the second division on a temporary basis is due to the different schedules of the leagues. The Série C season has already ended, while there are still nine matchdays left in Série B.

Unlike in most European countries, the seasons in Brazil are played within a single calendar year.
