Massis hits back at Crespo, wants São Paulo in Libertadores race | OneFootball

Recently sworn in as president of São Paulo, Harry Massis responded to coach Hernán Crespo’s comments this Sunday. The president believes the Argentine was “modest” when he said that Tricolor is fighting to avoid relegation in the 2026 Brazilian Championship.

In Massis’s view, São Paulo will be fighting for a Libertadores spot throughout the tournament.

After losing 3-1 to Palmeiras in the fifth round of the Campeonato Paulista, São Paulo will make its debut in the Brasileirão on Wednesday. The first challenge will be against Flamengo at Morumbis, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Warning sign on

The string of negative results has put Tricolor in a complicated situation in the Campeonato Paulista. São Paulo is in 14th place in the competition, with four points, tied with Noroeste, which is just above the relegation zone.
