Coach who admits interest in Sporting robbed, blames TAP: security is zero | OneFootball

The coach Renato Paiva reported on social media that the bags he traveled with from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon were stolen, despite having purchased tickets with guaranteed benefits. The coach, who admitted he would coach Sporting, blamed TAP for the incident.

He writes that his "bag was robbed" and that "items meant as gifts for family members" were stolen, including "several jerseys of Brazilian clubs" and called for urgent action from the Portuguese airline, lamenting the "zero security".

"Premium Customer. High-priced tickets with guaranteed benefits. Bag robbed and items meant as gifts for family members stolen. Several jerseys of Brazilian clubs stolen. Zero security. But flight payment at a gold price. A disappointment and losses. TAP Air Portugal, I await action as we know there are cameras to identify the culprits", can be read on social media.

Renato Paiva is free on the market, after having coached the Brazilians from Fortaleza and Botafogo in 2025. On the horizon is the possibility of coaching Universidad de Chile. The conversations were only exploratory and did not progress much in recent days.

It should be noted that the coach, who spent several seasons in Benfica's youth ranks, mentioned in a recent interview that he does not rule out managing the Alvalade Club in the near future. "I would coach both Sporting and Porto. Now, I don't know if they would want me given my roots. I always see others as rivals and not as enemies", he explained.
