For several months now, it had been known that Paulo Víctor, André Jardine’s assistant coach, would become the head coach of Brazil’s Under-23 and Under-21 national teams.
But out of respect for Club América, Paulo Víctor decided to wait until the tournament ended before leaving, as he did not want to leave the team hanging in the middle of the season.
But today he said goodbye to the club and its fans with a message shared through his social media.
“Thank you, Club América, for giving me one of the most special chapters of my life.
Today it is time for me to close this chapter and take on a new challenge, but I leave with a heart full of gratitude and unforgettable memories of everything we experienced together.
They were three incredible years, marked by work, learning, titles, and a very special connection with this club and its people. Special thanks to André Jardine for his trust and for inviting me to live this adventure. It will always be an immense source of pride to have been part of this story.”
It will be a very significant loss, as Paulo has been Jardine’s “right-hand man.” Since his arrival at Club América, André Jardine decided that Paulo Víctor would be his assistant coach, bringing him directly from Palmeiras in Brazil.
Now we will have to wait and see whom André announces as his new assistant coach, most likely a fellow countryman he has worked with before.
