📋 Caretaker made permanent? Botafogo’s plans for a NEW manager | OneFootball

Botafogo will assess interim coach Rodrigo Bellão’s work and may APPOINT HIM permanently as the team’s full-time head coach for the rest of the season.

Bellão, the Under-20 coach, temporarily took over the spot left vacant by Franclim Carvalho.

The interim coach led Botafogo to a 1-0 win over Cienciano in the Copa Sudamericana — a result that was not enough after the 6-1 defeat in the first leg.

And Rodrigo Bellão will face a new challenge in charge of the black-and-white team. The club will host Athletico at 8 p.m. on Monday (24) at Nilton Santos Stadium in the Brasileirão.

Athletico are in third place. After that, Botafogo will face Flamengo (second place) and Palmeiras (leaders).

If the club delivers good performances and/or good results in this run of tough fixtures, Bellão could be appointed permanently. The information comes from GE.

So, do you think Rodrigo Bellão deserves to stay in the job? Or who would be the ideal name? Have your say!
