Roger Machado is another coach with a previous spell at Grêmio who could return.

At São Paulo, Roger recorded seven wins, four draws, and six losses in 17 matches.

Meanwhile, Argentine Zubeldía has managed only São Paulo and Fluminense in Brazil.

He left the Rio club after 61 matches, with 30 wins, 18 draws, and 13 losses.

While the Grêmio board searches for a new manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, known as Felipão, will take charge of the team on an interim basis.

With Felipão, the club will face Botafogo at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday (16) at Nilton Santos, in a postponed Brasileirão match.
