Vasco da Gama dream of Marcelo Gallardo, talks already underway | OneFootball

While the River World is still reeling from Marcelo Gallardo's resignation, Vasco da Gama dreams of hiring him and has already opened talks with the coach, waiting to see if the "Muñeco" wants to coach in the short term or prefers to take a break.

For now, Gallardo is focused on his farewell at El Monumental against Banfield, where he requested not to receive plaques or special mentions, probably knowing that the attending public will honor him with songs and applause for the affection they have for him, despite his second stint at the club being forgettable and not meeting expectations.

Cruzmaltino dismissed Fernando Diniz after a poor start in the Brasileirao and a defeat in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinals against Fluminense, so they are already focused on finding a replacement willing to take the reins of the team immediately, which could complicate any negotiation attempts.

According to Brazilian media, the Albinegro management wants to hire a high-profile name because they believe it's time to take a step forward, so besides Gallardo, Artur Jorge, champion of the 2024 Copa Libertadores with Botafogo now at Al-Rayyan, and Renato Gaucho, a historic figure in the Brasileirao who is free after a stint with Fluminense, are also strong candidates.

It is worth noting that Vasco will compete in the Copa Sudamericana this year after finishing in fourteenth place in the last league, so they could potentially face the Nuñez team in this tournament.
