Back on TV! São Paulo hero Muricy Ramalho joins two World Cup channels | OneFootball

A great São Paulo idol who stepped away from the club earlier this year for health reasons, Muricy Ramalho will return to commentary during the World Cup, which begins this Thursday (11).

The former coach announced on his social media that he will be part of SBT’s team during the World Cup in North America. In addition to the free-to-air channel, Muricy will also commentate on World Cup matches for N Sports.

According to SBT, Muricy will analyze Brazil’s national team matches and will be joined at his new network by play-by-play announcers Galvão Bueno and Tiago Leifert, as well as commentators Alexandre Pato, Juninho Paulista, Mauro Beting, and Raphael Rezende.

Partly because of his health condition, Muricy Ramalho will not travel to the World Cup host countries and will provide his commentary directly from São Paulo.

“With a career marked by titles and spells at some of the country’s biggest clubs, Muricy will bring to the broadcasts his decades of experience in football, analyzing the matches and the challenges faced by the team led by Carlo Ancelotti in the pursuit of a sixth World Cup title,” SBT celebrated.

This will not be Mujica’s first experience on television. From November 2016 to December 2020, the São Paulo icon was a commentator for Globo channels, drawing attention for his strong analysis. He left the broadcaster to take a position in São Paulo’s management at the invitation of Julio Casares at the time.

Muricy’s most recent job was as São Paulo’s technical coordinator, from 2021 to January 2026, when he resigned from his beloved club due to health problems.

Ramalho was one of the greatest coaches of the 2000s, collecting titles with several clubs, but it was at Tricolor where he shone brightest, winning three consecutive Brazilian league titles, among other trophies. As a player, he also won titles with São Paulo, including the 1975 Campeonato Paulista and the 1977 Brazilian Championship.
