Crespo aims to avoid unwanted record as São Paulo boss against LDU | OneFootball

In addition to qualifying, coach Hernán Crespo also hopes to avoid a negative record as coach of São Paulo against LDU this Thursday, in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. If he loses the game, the coach will suffer three consecutive defeats for the first time in charge of Tricolor.

The Argentine saw São Paulo lose its last two matches. First, the team lost to the Ecuadorian side itself, 2-0, last Thursday in Quito. Then, last Sunday, the team was defeated by Santos, 1-0, in the Brazilian Championship.

This is only the second time Crespo has suffered two consecutive defeats as coach of the Morumbis club. The other occurred in 2021, during his first stint with the São Paulo team. At that time, the team lost to Fluminense and Fortaleza, in the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil, respectively.

Since his return, the coach has suffered five defeats in 17 matches, with a 54.9% success rate. The coach also has eight wins and four draws.

The second leg against LDU is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday, at Morumbis. São Paulo needs to win by three or more goals to qualify in regular time.
