Botafogo cannot stabilize. Once again, John Textor decided to change coach to stop the negative spiral of the club, with a small victory in the last six matches. Thus, Tiago Nunes paid the price and was dismissed by the manager, also owner of Olympique Lyonnais. This is simply the sixth coach in eight months, while the Brazilian will have played only 15 games on the bench of the Carioca club. To succeed him, several names are on the leaders’ shelves.

Sampaoli priority of Textor

According to TNT Sports, Botafogo would have made Jorge Sampaoli its priority. The former coach of Olympique de Marseille has been free since his departure from Flamengo last September. Approached for a time by Olympique Lyonnais to succeed Fabio Grosso, Jorge Sampaoli could thus experience a fourth adventure in Brazil after having managed Santos, Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo. However, the discussions have not yet started. To be continued.
