Martín Anselmi on the verge of a return to the dugout in the Brasileirão

Martín Anselmi could succeed Davide Ancelotti as the head coach of Botafogo. According to Globoesporte, the Argentine coach is John Textor's preferred choice to lead the team from Rio de Janeiro, despite other options being considered. Vítor Bruno and Vasco Matos are also being evaluated, but Anselmi's experience in South America, his offensive style, and his knowledge of playing in high-altitude locations work in his favor. Anselmi left FC Porto at the end of the last season, having led the Dragons to third place in the Primeira Liga; he was succeeded by Francesco Farioli. It should be noted that Rafael Guanaes declined to take charge of Botafogo.
