Pezzolano says ‘yes’ to Vasco, who now needs to negotiate the fine and release with Valladolid
The RTI Esporte Agency found that the parties needed to reach an understanding on the termination fine to be released immediately. The value is 3 million euros (R$ 16.4 million, at current prices). Your contract expires on June 30th.
Vasco reflects on the options evaluated in the football market. Therefore, he understands that it is necessary to intensify the arrival of new professionals. The 1-0 defeat to Athletico Paranaense last Sunday, 5th, sank the team even further into the relegation zone of Series A of the Brazilian Championship.
At first, the Cruzmaltina board tried to hire the coach without fines. But Paulo Pezzolano ruled out paying the amount using his own resources. Today, among the foreigners evaluated, the Uruguayan is the one who best fits into 777 Partners’ sports project.
According to the report, the board always treated Paulo Pezzolano as a priority to lead Vasco. However, he is not the only option on Pedro Martins’ list. Diego Alonso, former coach of the Uruguayan national team, is ‘plan B’.
In recent days, three Portuguese players were offered and discarded by Vasco: Jaime Pacheco, ex-Pyramds, from Egypt, Mário Silva, ex-Santa Clara, from Portugal and Ricardo Paiva, ex-Boavista, from Portugal. Internally there is an understanding that they do not have the profile to lead Vasco.
Carlos Carvalhal is ‘impossible’
First of all, Carlos Carvalhal is considered ‘impossible’ by Vasco. The Portuguese acquired this status after turning down several offers from Brazilian football. Since 2021, he has claimed he has no desire to work in South America.
Since then, he has rejected invitations from Atlético-MG, Botafogo, Corinthians, Flamengo, Internacional, Red Bull Bragantino and São Paulo. Vasco even consulted the coach’s staff and heard that the Portuguese was not interested in negotiating.
Unemployed since January 2024, Carlos Carvalhal was recently hired by LaLiga TV to comment on the Spanish Championship games. He, in fact, is one of the names considered to lead Real Valladolid, which could lose Paulo Pezzolano to Vasco.
