Of all the members of Hernán Crespo’s coaching staff who were dismissed, no one seemed more upset by the board’s sudden decision than goalkeeping coach Gustavo Nepote.
And another clear sign was given by the Argentine professional on the morning of this Sunday (22), when he used his social media to share videos of São Paulo fans insulting the current coach, Roger Machado, after the 1-0 defeat to rivals Palmeiras, right at Morumbi, on Saturday (21), in the Brazilian Championship.
Nepote has never hidden his anger towards the board over the dismissal. Since it happened, about two weeks ago, he has been publicly expressing himself on the matter, whether through his own posts or by sharing screenshots of messages he received from fans.
The professional was even one of the last members of Crespo’s staff to leave Brazil. Since the dismissal, he made a point of meeting with players and club staff and posting photos on social media, suggesting that he was trying to refute the claims that there was no good relationship between the Argentinians and the group, a theory raised at the time of the dismissal.
“Today marks the end of another chapter in my career and, unexpectedly, I have to say goodbye to this wonderful group,” Nepote wrote in his farewell post to the club, where he received support from almost everyone in the squad and the permanent technical staff of Tricolor.
According to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Nepote’s attitude was not well received internally by the board and some players. At the very least, the behavior was considered ‘unethical’.
“It’s a clear disrespect to Roger, who had nothing to do with his departure,” a source told the report. “If it were the other way around, would he like it?”
Nepote’s provocative stance makes it certain that with Rui Costa, Crespo and his staff will never work together again. At least for the Argentinians, if they ever want to return one day, the current management will only last until the end of the year.
