🚨 Breaking: major Brasileirão club confirms manager exit | OneFootball

Grêmio announced the departure of head coach Luis Castro this Sunday (13), a day after the comeback home loss to Vasco.

So, fans, did you like the decision? Who should take charge of the Tricolor now?

In its statement, Grêmio also said that Felipão will take over on an interim basis and will lead the team against Botafogo on Wednesday (16).

The loss to Vasco left Tricolor in 15th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points.

The club is ahead of Vasco itself, which opens the relegation zone, thanks to goal difference.

In the Copa do Brasil, the situation is VERY different. Grêmio is three games away from the title.

The club from Rio Grande do Sul will face Atlético-MG in the semifinal. If they go through, they will play the grand final (a single match) against Palmeiras or Vasco.

The Copa do Brasil champion goes straight into the group stage of the 2027 Libertadores. And the runner-up goes to the playoffs.
