‘Geniuses’, quips Renato after leaving Fluminense | OneFootball

After Fluminense's elimination by Lanús in the Copa Sudamericana and his resignation from the technical command, Renato Gaúcho spoke through Instagram on the afternoon of this Wednesday. He thanked the board, the technical staff, and the players, but mocked some people who, according to him, think they are "geniuses."

"Unfortunately, we couldn't advance in the Copa Sudamericana, and for a series of reasons, I decided that it would be best for me to leave. I would like to thank President Mario Bitencourt, who has been doing a great job, Paulo Angioni, and the entire board for their support. Also, thanks to all the members of the technical staff and the employees. To the group of players, who have been having a fantastic year," he wrote.

The coach also spoke about the criticism received. According to him, the "geniuses" are destroying football.

"Thank you very much to the huge Fluminense fanbase and may they not be influenced by a handful of 'geniuses' who think they know everything but are actually destroying football," he concluded.

Renato took over Fluminense on April 3 and since then has accumulated 21 wins, nine draws, and 12 losses. Despite the elimination, the coach leaves the team in eighth place in the Brasileirão, with 31 points, and with a spot in the Copa do Brasil semifinals, which will be played against Vasco in December.
