Not happening! Fernando Seabra turns down Vasco, stays at Coritiba | OneFootball

The soap opera came to an end with a terrible outcome for Vasco. Fernando Seabra decided to turn down the offer and confirmed that he will definitely remain at Coritiba. The financial deadlock involving the payment of the R$ 4 million release clause buried the deal, officially causing the move to collapse this Friday (3).

According to information published by ge, the Gigante da Colina board was caught by surprise by the firmness of the Paraná club’s board, which did not accept installment payments. Fernando Seabra has already met with the southern club’s sporting head, William Thomas, and traveled with the squad to Porto Alegre, where he will lead the team in a training match against Internacional this Saturday.

+ Twist! Vasco breaks promise of upfront payment and Fernando Seabra gets upset

Financial disagreement breaks promise and angers coach

Seabra was supposed to arrive in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday night, but Vasco’s retreat from the upfront payment caused major frustration for the coach and his staff. The manager’s agent even signaled an agreement on social media, but the lack of cash on hand at the SAF held up the signing of the contract.

Without immediate bank guarantees because of the political split haunting the scenes behind the scenes at São Januário, CRVG lost control of the negotiations. The distrust created by the breach of the verbal agreement weighed heavily, leading the coach to choose the security of the project in the South, where he is enjoying a good campaign in the Brazilian Championship.

Vasco back to square one in search for a coach

With Fernando Seabra’s refusal and the earlier issue involving Portuguese coach Franclim Carvalho, Vasco is back to square one in the transfer market. The board is still without a replacement for Renato Gaúcho, who was dismissed in June, and is now forced to urgently look for new options.

Football director Admar Lopes will have to redo the planning for the technical department, with the tendency being for Cruz-Maltino to once again target foreign coaches. Time is working against the Rio club, which sits in an uncomfortable 17th place in the Brasileirão table and needs a manager to start training sessions at CT Moacyr Barbosa before official matches resume.
