Internacional announced the dismissal of head coach Paulo Pezzolano on the night of this Sunday, the 20th. The coach did not survive the defeat to São Paulo last Saturday, the 19th, at Morumbis. The Uruguayan’s departure was already expected due to the club’s poor performance in the Brazilian Championship Série A. Internacional will go into the FIFA break in 18th place, with only 28 points.
Along with Paulo Pezzolano, technical coordinator Matias Filippini, assistants Esteban Conde and Mauro Jarodich, fitness coach Gonzalo Alvarez, and performance analyst Manuel Ramas are also leaving the club. During his time at the club, Pezzolano led Inter in 46 matches (his assistant led four games).
During that span, he recorded 18 wins, 12 draws, and 16 losses. The team scored 66 goals, conceded 55, and had a 47.8% success rate. Internacional is already in the market and searching for a coach to save the team from relegation to the second division.
“Sport Club Internacional announces the termination of its contractual relationship with head coach Paulo Pezzolano. Leaving the club alongside the coach are technical coordinator Matias Filippini, assistants Esteban Conde and Mauro Jarodich, fitness coach Gonzalo Alvarez, and performance analyst Manuel Ramas.
The Club thanks these professionals for their services and wishes them success in the next stages of their careers. Permanent assistant coach Pablo Fernandez will lead the team’s upcoming activities at CT Parque Gigante.”
