Sport announce Daniel Paulista's departure as head coach | OneFootball

After a meeting this Tuesday, Sport announced the departure of Daniel Paulista from the team's command. The coach leaves Leão after 18 matches in the Brazilian Championship, with eight draws, eight losses, and only two wins.

With eight rounds left until the end of the Brasileirão, Sport occupies the last position in the table, with only 17 points—14 fewer than Vitória, who is just above the relegation zone. Until a new head coach is appointed, assistant coach César Lucena will take over the position on an interim basis.

Sport Idol

This was Daniel Paulista’s fourth stint as Leão’s coach. Considered an idol, he prevented the club from being relegated to Série B in 2016 and 2017. In addition, he coached the Rubro-Negro in 2020.

According to the statement published on Sport’s social media, the final decision was made by mutual agreement and it was established that Daniel and his coaching staff will receive payments for the month of November.

Next Match

After the defeat to Mirassol in the last round, Sport returns to the field this Saturday, when they visit second-placed Flamengo. The match is scheduled for 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.
