Fábio Carille takes charge at Goiás aiming to restore confidence

Goiás has a new commander in the final stretch of the Série B. Coach Fábio Carille has been officially announced and arrives with the mission to get the team back on track after a sequence of five games without a win, which left the Esmeraldino in fourth place, with 52 points — just one more than Chapecoense, their next opponent and direct rival in the fight for promotion.

“Confidence is the first step,” says Carille

Experienced, Carille emphasizes that the main challenge at this moment is to restore the team's confidence, which, according to him, has the quality and experience to bounce back in the final rounds.

“The first step is confidence. It's good that it's an experienced team, a group that knows where to hold on. I want to quickly understand how I can boost the athletes' confidence so they can enjoy themselves with responsibility,” the coach told TV Goiás.

The coach highlighted the respect for Goiás' history and said he believes in the potential of the squad.

“I believe in this squad, I know most of the players, only the younger ones I don't know as well. I am confident in doing a successful job so that we can achieve the goal of returning to Série A.”

Race against time and direct confrontation

With less than 40 days until the end of the competition, Carille acknowledges the urgency in adjusting the team and making Goiás react quickly. The next match is decisive: the duel with Chapecoense, in fifth place with 51 points, will be a direct confrontation for the G4 and could determine the team's fate in the final stretch of Série B.

With stints at Corinthians, Santos, Vasco, and Athletico-PR, Fábio Carille brings to Goiás a strategic profile, known for teams with tactical organization and defensive solidity — characteristics that can be decisive to ensure a return to the elite of Brazilian football.
