Crespo leaves São Paulo again, joins Ceni and Muricy on podium | OneFootball

Hernán Crespo left São Paulo in third place among the coaches who led the team the most in the 21st century: he managed 99 games, placing him behind only the club's historical idols Muricy Ramalho (360) and Rogério Ceni (143).

On the other hand, in this second stint, he also had the worst points performance (50.7%) of any São Paulo coach since Cuca's last tenure in 2019, with 47.4% of the points. Combining his two periods at Morumbi, Crespo accumulated 54.2% of the points, which drops him to the 13th position among the 24 coaches that Tricolor had this century.

In terms of days, this second stint of the Argentine at Morumbi was longer (264 to 243), but had fewer games (46 to 53). This discrepancy is due to the fact that the period ended on Monday (9) included vacations between seasons, a break for the new FIFA Club World Cup, and three FIFA dates.

In 2021, he faced only one interruption due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic and a single FIFA date, in addition to a tight schedule during the resumption of football after the mentioned interruption, when the team played matches with only two days of interval.

Crespo was also the fifth coach dismissed after a change of president in the 21st century and the fourth fastest: the 52 days until Harry Massis Júnior dismissed him were ahead of Nelsinho Baptista (22 days, by Marcelo Portugal Gouvêa, in 2002), Doriva (27 days, by Carlos Augusto de Barros e Silva, known as Leco, in 2015), and Fernando Diniz (31 days, by Júlio Casares, in 2021).

Only Muricy Ramalho lasted longer with a new president, but by an absurd margin: Juvenal Juvêncio only dismissed him in 2009, more than three years after taking office.
