Renato Gaúcho 'in tears' as he compares Vasco's finances to Flamengo's | OneFootball

What Did Renato Gaúcho Say About Flamengo Upon Arriving at Vasco?

Renato Gaúcho is Vasco’s newest coach. In his introductory press conference, the manager once again spoke about the financial power of Flamengo. In his speech, the coach mentioned that Rubro-Negro is one of the few Brazilian teams with the means to sign above-average players in the market.

— Brazilian football lacks decisive players. When you have a Palmeiras, a Flamengo, a Cruzeiro—clubs with strong finances—they are able to go after above-average players. If you look at Brazilian football as a whole, most of these clubs need those players up front –, he said, before concluding:

— It’s not just Vasco. We have the players here and I’m going to work hard with them. Football is about putting the ball in the net, and we need those decisive players. It’s a problem in Brazilian football. Sometimes, even in the Brazilian national team. We’re going to lift them up, teach and improve them in training –, Renato Gaúcho concluded at the press conference this Tuesday (04).

It’s important to note that this isn’t the first time Renato Gaúcho has commented on Flamengo’s budget. Back when he was managing Grêmio, the coach even said that with the kind of investment Rubro-Negro made, he would accept being expected to deliver “beautiful football.”

And after some time, the tables turned for Renato Gaúcho. That’s because, in 2021, the former striker took charge of Flamengo’s star-studded squad, but even with all the advantages, he was unable to win any titles.

IS RENATO GAÚCHO THE NEW VASCO COACH?

Yes! Renato Gaúcho has joined Vasco on a contract valid until December of this year. It’s worth noting, too, that the coach’s deal with the club does not include a release clause. In other words, if either party decides to end the contract before the agreed date, the club will not incur any extra costs.

DOES FLAMENGO ALREADY HAVE A NEW COACH?

While Renato Gaúcho was announced by Vasco, Flamengo is very close to having a new coach. This Wednesday (04), Leonardo Jardim has already appeared at CT Ninho do Urubu, and the club is expected to formalize the signing of the Portuguese coach by the end of this week. Finally, his debut on the sidelines should happen in the classic against Fluminense, in the final of the Carioca.
