Keeping tabs: Vasco, Flu's Copa do Brasil rivals, sack Renato Gaúcho | OneFootball

Brazilian football is on hold because of the World Cup, but the Tricolor calendar resumes with major clashes right after the international tournament. The first big commitment, in August, will be the Copa do Brasil round-of-16 matchups against Vasco. This Thursday (18), the Cruz-Maltino chose to dismiss Renato Gaúcho as head coach. Since the break began, the manager had been under pressure because of some comments about the squad. Vasco finished the Brasileiro, the period before the World Cup, in the relegation zone.

Fluminense and Vasco will face each other in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 on August 1 or 2 (first leg) and August 5 or 6 (second leg).
