In Brazil’s coaching market, a club has moved away from speculation surrounding an unnamed Argentine candidate and settled on a different direction: a pursuit of a manager currently working in Serie B.

A turn towards the second tier

  1. Reports had linked the Brazilian institution with an Argentine coach.
  2. The club has since made its decision and will target a coach from Brazil’s second division.
  3. Eduardo Baptista, pictured during his time in charge of Palmeiras, is associated with the developing coaching discussion.

The move underlines how quickly a managerial search can change across Brazil’s football map, with domestic knowledge and current Serie B experience now taking priority over the earlier overseas rumours.
