"Vasco da Gama announces that Renato Gaúcho is no longer the head coach of the professional team. The decision was made by mutual agreement between the parties. Vasco thanks the coach and his staff for the services provided during his third spell at the club and wishes them success in the continuation of their careers," the club said in an official statement.
Vasco went into the Brasileirão break with three straight defeats in the league, but Renato was still in charge.
According to ge, what weighed against him were the criticisms he made of the squad in the weeks leading up to the run of setbacks.
Part of the squad reportedly did not approve of that attitude. The statement about Colombian players also reportedly did not go down well.
Vasco’s squad will return next Monday (22). There will be thirty days of work until football resumes in the clash against Independiente Medellín in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
Strong start in the league and drop in form
He was in charge of Cruz-Maltino for 22 matches. There were nine wins, six draws, and seven defeats.
The start was positive, including wins over Palmeiras and a great comeback against Fluminense — which helped spark the team’s recovery in the league.
And Vasco also got off to a good start in the Copa Sudamericana even while resting key starters.
But then came the thrashing by Inter, the defeat to Olimpia in the Sudamericana — which made life harder for the team to advance in 1st place — and the loss in São Januário to RB Bragantino.
The "game of the year" then became the match against Barras Central. And Vasco secured a place in the Sudamericana playoffs, easing the impact of the poor run.
The run then continued with another home defeat, this time to Atlético-MG, and an apparent “crisis averted” heading into the Copa break.
