Muricy on São Paulo role: Recent silence protects club decisions | OneFootball

Spending a good part of his time working discreetly, in recent times the former coach and current technical coordinator of São Paulo, Muricy Ramalho, has been taking advantage of the space he still holds in the media to appear and give statements (and explanations, of course) about his daily work at the Barra Funda training center.

This time, Muricy spoke to ‘Rádio Bandeirantes‘ and addressed precisely the decision, according to him personal, to spare his image a bit and avoid appearing too much, which sometimes generates criticism from fans who question his internal role.

Mujica defends the discretion of his role as coordinator, explaining that much of what he does in his work needs to remain within the internal environment of football. He claims that he chose to be discreet to avoid conflicts with the coaches and to protect the club's internal decisions, emphasizing that, over five years in the role, he has never had problems with any coach.

Muricy also highlights that he works directly with the technical staff, but with limits, and also with the club's issues, requiring him to make sometimes “tougher” decisions that must remain behind the scenes.

The former coach confirms that he is sought out by several coaches for conversations about tactics and players, taking advantage of his experience and history of titles. He emphasizes that communication happens daily, at moments like breakfast or after training, and that the coaches seek his help because he knows the players' characteristics better and participates in the signings.

Muricy also emphasizes his role in talking to the players, working to motivate them and explain the importance of maintaining calm and work, especially when they are not playing.

Regarding São Paulo's difficult financial moment, the coordinator acknowledges the difficulties but stresses that his job is to show the athletes the history and the jersey of São Paulo, demanding a team that “gives its all, fights, and struggles all the time.”
