Ex-Flamengo boss turns down offer to take charge at Vasco | OneFootball

Vasco fired Fernando Diniz after a series of negative results

Vasco was eliminated from the Campeonato Carioca this Sunday (01), after a 1-1 draw with Fluminense in the second leg of the semifinal. Meanwhile, the São Januário team continues its search for a new coach, following the dismissal of Fernando Diniz. The ‘Plan A’ for Flamengo’s rival, Renato Gaúcho, turned down the club’s offer.

According to information from ‘O Globo’, Renato Gaúcho refused the proposal to become Vasco’s new coach after the parties failed to reach a financial agreement. The former Flamengo coach asked for the same salary he received at Fluminense, with his coaching staff paid separately. However, the São Januário team did not accept the request.

Are there other coaches on Vasco’s radar?

However, Vasco was also considering other names in the market. These included Rafael Guanaes from Mirassol, Marcelo Gallardo, former River Plate (ARG) coach, and Artur Jorge from Al Rayyan (QAT). However, all three coaches turned down the approach from Flamengo’s rival.

Why did the club fire Fernando Diniz?

Vasco decided to fire coach Fernando Diniz after the 1-0 defeat to Fluminense in the first leg of the Carioca semifinal. Under his command at São Januário, the coach led the team in 53 matches, with 16 wins, 15 draws, and 22 losses, achieving a 40% success rate.

And what about Flamengo?

Meanwhile, Flamengo is preparing to take the field this Monday (02) to face Madureira. The match will take place at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Maracanã, in the second leg of the Carioca semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Madureira through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
