Vasco without their boss: Who takes charge on the bench? | OneFootball

Vasco has begun preparations for the match against Red Bull Bragantino next Sunday (26), with two important pieces of news. The bad news is that coach Fernando Diniz will be absent from the technical area. The good news is the return of midfielder Hugo Moura, which creates a positive "headache" for the team's lineup.

Vasco's coach is out of the next game

Fernando Diniz received his third yellow card during the victory over Fluminense and will have to serve a suspension. In his place, Vasco will be led by one of his assistants, Ricardo Cobalchini or Evandro Fornari, who accompany the coach on the bench.

Although the team will not have the coach on the sidelines, they gain the return of Hugo Moura, who served a suspension in the classic. The return of the player, who is a key starter for Diniz, creates an unprecedented competition within the squad.

For the first time, Fernando Diniz will have Hugo Moura, Tchê Tchê, and Cauan Barros fully available, competing for two spots in the midfield. The decision will be a challenge, as Tchê Tchê was even improvised as a right-back in the victory over Fortaleza to accommodate the good form of the other midfielders.

Rest of the team and possible updates

The rest of the starting lineup is expected to remain unchanged, as no other player received a yellow card. The only other possible update could be the return of Garré to the bench. The player is undergoing treatment for a pubalgia and there is a chance he will return to training with the group in the coming days.
