Vitória confirm right-back Raúl Cáceres is leaving | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Vitória officially announced the departure of right-back Raúl Cáceres. The 34-year-old player's contract expires this December and will not be renewed by the club.

“Dedication, professionalism, respect for the jersey, kindness, and commitment. That is Raúl Cáceres. One of ours. We thank you for everything, Raúl, and wish you all the success in the continuation of your career,” Vitória wrote in a social media post.

Raúl joined Vitória at the end of 2024, after a stint with Guaraní in Paraguayan football. During this period, the right-back played in 68 matches, scored two goals, and provided six assists. Additionally, he was a champion of the 2024 Campeonato Baiano with the club.

The defender himself had already confirmed his move to Olimpia, in Paraguay. The announcement took place in the mixed zone after the victory against São Paulo, which secured Vitória's stay in Serie A.

“I am sad to leave Vitória, but it is a decision I made a few days ago. It is a life decision. I am happy for everything I did here at Vitória, and the club has gained another fan. I am going to Olimpia, returning to Paraguay, the club where I started my career,” said the player.
