The advantage in the ranking and the debut match

The volume of victories accumulated by the coach creates a considerable gap from the main competitors in the position. The second place on the list is the Portuguese Abel Ferreira, who has 237 victories, closely followed by Rogério Ceni, with 234 positive results achieved. The list continues with Mano Menezes (202 victories), Roger Machado (185), Cuca (177), Dorival Júnior (173), Fernando Diniz (170), Vagner Mancini (166), and Juan Vojvoda, who closes the top ten with 156 triumphs.

The practical application of this victorious track record will begin to be tested immediately on the field of São Januário. Renato Gaúcho's debut as Vasco's coach is scheduled for next Thursday, in a direct confrontation against Palmeiras.
