Shock in Brazil: after River links, Hernán Crespo sacked by São Paulo | OneFootball

The departure of Marcelo Gallardo caused significant tremors regarding the main candidates to take on the role of River Plate’s coach. Ultimately, Eduardo Coudet joined as the new leader of the team, leaving behind names closely associated with the club, such as Hernán Crespo.

To make matters worse, the coach unexpectedly stopped leading Sao Paulo this Monday. Through an official statement on the São Paulo club’s social media, the management announced the unexpected decision to dismiss him, so the former striker is now free to choose a new project.

In his last match, on March 1, Crespo suffered a defeat with the Tricolor at the hands of Palmeiras in the Campeonato Paulista. However, the team is among the leaders of the Brasileirao and still has its participation ahead in the Copa Sudamericana.

In this context, the results so far this year are not the clearest indicator to explain his departure from the São Paulo club. He ends his second stint at the helm of the team, without titles since returning to the institution in June 2025.
