Announced by Grêmio last Friday, coach Luís Castro returns to Brazil after a stint in Asian football. On the continent, the Portuguese manager led Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, and, more recently, Al-Wasl, from the United Arab Emirates.
Luís Castro was in charge of Al-Wasl between July and November of this year. During this period, the 64-year-old coach had a 73.8% success rate, totaling nine wins, four draws, and only one loss. According to data from Sofascore, the team scored a total of 33 goals in 14 matches and conceded 16. Moreover, Al-Wasl had a high volume of creation, with 35 big chances during the Portuguese manager’s tenure. The team also registered 60.4% ball possession in the period, showing a strong presence in the opponent’s half.
Luís Castro signed a contract with Grêmio until the end of 2027. Alongside the coach, six members of his technical staff are joining the club: assistants Vitor Severino and Pedro Mané, goalkeeping coach Daniel Correia, performance analyst Nuno Baptista, and fitness coaches Roberto Júnior and Nuno Cerdeira.
