The interim coach achieved three wins in three matches in charge of Glorioso
After another victory in charge of Botafogo, Fábio Matias has thrown cold water on the fans who dream of his arrival. It is worth mentioning that there are now three wins in three matches. Previously he led the team that defeated Audax 2-0 and Aurora 6-0. AgoYes, the victim was Fluminense, who lost 4-2.
“I am an employee of the club and it is a role that they need, a permanent assistant. So that when there are setbacks, I can continue and adapt. We continue to prepare the team for whoever will come. Our goal is to leave the things in the best way possible,” Matias said.
Botafogo will compete in the Rio Cup
Despite the victory in the classic, Botafogo did not qualify for the semi-finals of the Campeonato Carioca. Glorioso will thus compete in the Rio Cup, a competition between the fifth and eighth ranked teams. Thus, in the semi-final, with the advantage of a draw in both matches, Matias’ team faces Sampaio Corrêa. The other group will have Boavista x Portuguesa.
The Taça Rio duels will take place next weekend. First, however, Botafogo hosts Red Bull Bragantino on Wednesday (3/6), at 9.30pm. This match, it is worth remembering, is that of the third phase of the Pre-Libertadores. Therefore, whoever advances secures the group stage of the competition.
Behind the scenes, however, Botafogo is focusing on hiring a coach. The trend, in fact, is for a Portuguese player to arrive, which is the preference of the club’s board of directors.
“In particular we have a medium and long term objective, but I don’t know. Football is very dynamic. We leave home organized so that the arrival of the new coach is less traumatic within the process. This is my objective today inside the club,” Matias added.
