The coach returns to Tricolor four years after winning Paulistan and says that the first goal is to recover in Brazilirão
San Paolo showed up on the morning of Tuesday (24/6), the coach Hernán Crespo. He arrives for his second spell to the club, after being Paulista Champion in 2021 with Tricolor. And the commander believes he returns to Morumbi returns better than before, but without a magic formula to win, in addition to work.
I think I am a better coach, but everyone is better than in the past. Better because he spent time, I continue to be a young coach and the person does not change. I continue to be the same person before, but I have more tools to be able to offer a working group. What is important is that no coach has the magic formula, there is no winning coach manual. Do not expect a magic formula, I have to work and wait for the competitive team. Winning is something else. But you have to make it compete. And give my identity, “said Crespo, who continued.
“I have respect for Zubeldía’s work. I want to enjoy his job and give my entity, my pleasure is that fans identify with the team. This needs time. We will have a period of adaptation.
Crespo sees Brazilirão with “urgency”
In addition, Crespo admitted that his first goal will be to recover in Brazilirão. San Paolo occupies 14th place and the coach knows the importance of the tournament, which overturned him from the office in 2021.
“The first I have to do is to live every day, the game start. If you see an urgency, which is Brazilirão. Try to compete and earn points because we are calm. Then, Libertadores and Brazil Cup are Knockout. Everything can happen. But the urgency is Brazilirão. And this is something that exists. We have to see reality”.
Finally, the coach did not hide the thrill of the return to San Paolo and aimed to be at the same level as other big names as the club such as Telê Santana and Muricy Ramalho.
“I recently said it is a magical place. There is no explanation. I don’t know what it has. We know that the story is important and we all know, but there is something in the mind of when it will arrive at the stadium that passes through you. And you stay there. If they allow me to dream? I would like to be with Telê, Muricy (in history). If we dream of the great.

First step
The past was something atypical. I remember that we had eight months and we never had time to work seriously. There were many games. Some in less than 48 hours. I remember that Paulistan’s final was a Sunday and Tuesday we played with Sporting Cristal here to go from a phase, which Sao Paulo had not been going on for eight years. This 48 hours after winning Paulistan. It was atypical and difficult. The president had Covidi, I had covered. All very difficult. It is very complicated. I always understand that time and patience are needed. Of course with money, the times are shorter, this is true. I don’t change what I thought. But I understand that the past brought me here today. So I have a lot of respect and love for this past. Sao Paulo is still great, this is undoubtedly. And that’s why I’m here. What will happen? Is being patient.
Luan
Certainly, I know Arborada, Luan, Luciano. It’s good. And surely they will help me know others. I know what I can have on Arbolada, Luciano, Luan … all in his best version and as people, because it is true that we are talking about athletes, players, but in the end we are all people. And for me this is important, to know people. Knowing some people is already easier, because then I have more space to meet new people. From there we will evaluate. Are we the same or better versions than 4 years ago? Or worse? In the end, let’s see. As they know me and know my requirement. What I want in every training, every game. But in the end, it is an evaluation of the players with me and me with players. We always talk about people.
Crespo meeting with fans
“The pleasure belongs to a magical place with a lot of history. The first game will be against the Corinthians and the only one I can do, a part of me enjoys the show, and another part of me focuses on the resolution of the game. But I am very proud to belong, be here and know that it will happen: the crowded Morumbis, I can live.”
Debut
Welcome to the Brazilian championship. Because this is the case. All games are very difficult. If the Brazilian is not the most difficult in the world, he is very close to it. There is no easy start. At home, away. There is no moment of “Ah, this game will be easier”. Therefore, we must focus on ourselves. Get our identity. Because there will be difficult moments. And if we support ourselves in what we want, it is easier to solve. It is very difficult, but we are in San Paolo. Players and coaches, everyone wants to have this problem. If the problem is facing Flamengo in Maracanã and Bragantino, we want.
