Brazil: First coaches right at the start of the season

Fast for Mano Menezes

Fluminense FC puts in front of the door just a few hours after the 0: 2 in the first league game of the year.

Brazil’s dreaded coaching carousel found his first victim at the start of the season. Fluminense FC put in front of the door just a few hours after the 0: 2 in the first league game of the year at Fortaleza EC Coach Mano Menezes. The 62-year-old took over the traditional club from Rio de Janeiro in July 2024.

There was “Flu” with just six points after 14 game days at the end of the table, before it went under Menezes to 13th place in the 20 teams, and thus a place in the Copa Sudamericana, which was achieved with the Europa League comparable South America tournament. The defeat was particularly difficult for the former Brazilian national coach two weeks ago in the final of Rio de Janeiro’s national championship cup against the arch-rival Flamengo Fr.
