Interest in Felipão

The Vasco board is racing against time to announce a new coach. Although negotiations with Scolari are still in the initial stage, his vast experience in Brazilian football and successful history make him a strong candidate.

Recent Work

At Atlético-MG, Felipão achieved 19 wins in 41 matches.

Before being dismissed in March of this year, the coach had won five victories in ten games.
Scenario in the Brasileirão

In the Brasileirão, Vasco is facing a delicate situation. In ten games, there were only two victories, suffering seven defeats and drawing once, which places them in seventeenth position, with seven points.

This Saturday (22), for the tenth round, the Gigante da Colina receives São Paulo, at 9:30 pm (Brasilia time), at São Januário.
