Which former Flamengo coach is on Vasco's radar?


Vasco dismissed Fernando Diniz this Sunday (22) after a 1-0 defeat to Fluminense in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinals. Now, the Cruzmaltino has Renato Gaúcho as one of the main candidates to take over as head coach.

According to ESPN, Vasco wants to hire a coach who knows Brazilian football well. In other words, bringing in a foreign coach is not a priority for the Cruzmaltino at this moment.

Is there another coach on Vasco's radar?

However, another name is also being considered behind the scenes at Vasco. This is Rafael Guanaes, from Mirassol. The coach managed to take the São Paulo team to the Libertadores for the first time in history and has gained prestige in Brazilian football.

Has anyone else left Vasco?

Vasco, however, has not yet decided which coach it will begin negotiations with at this time. In addition to Fernando Diniz, Coutinho has also left the Cruzmaltino in recent days amid this turbulent period.

And what about Flamengo?

Flamengo continues with Filipe Luís as head coach. The coach, in fact, is working with a focus on the match against Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (26), in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
