What does Alex Telles expect from Tite at Botafogo? Find out | OneFootball

Alex Telles knows Tite from another setting and therefore spoke with authority about the coach’s arrival at Botafogo. The two worked together with the Brazilian National Team, including during the 2022 World Cup, and now they meet again at the General Severiano club.

The left-back and black-and-white captain mainly highlighted the coach’s experience, his tactical ability, and the way he leads the group. For Alex Telles, these attributes could be important in Botafogo’s new chapter.

“We’re very happy about his arrival. He’s a man who carries weight in football, and anyone who has worked with him knows his quality, not only tactically, but also in terms of management,” said Alex Telles in an interview with Sportv before continuing:

“He’s a wonderful guy, and not just him, but the entire staff as well—experienced and aware of what needs to be done. I really believe it’s going to work out very well,” the Botafogo player concluded after Botafogo’s victory over Grêmio at Nilton Santos Stadium in the Brazilian Championship.

Tite was announced by Botafogo this Wednesday, the 16th, and will take charge of the team after a period under interim management. In the match against Grêmio at Nilton Santos Stadium, Rodrigo Bellão was still in charge of the team.

Botafogo begins a new chapter

The 3-2 win over Grêmio marked the beginning of this transition. Danilo Santos, twice, and Álvaro Montoro scored Botafogo’s goals, while Jovane Cabral and Gustavo Martins scored for the visitors from Rio Grande do Sul.

With the result, the Lone Star club reached 35 points and sits in 11th place in the Brazilian Championship’s Série A. Grêmio remained 16th with 26 points. From now on, Tite will have the mission of leading Botafogo through the remainder of the competition.

The coach had been without a club since March, when he was dismissed by Cruzeiro due to poor results in the opening rounds of the Brasileirão. He will be officially presented this Thursday, the 16th, at Engenhão. The contract runs until December 2028.
