Vasco DA Gama is still uncertain about its next coach. The Rio-based team returns to the field on July 16, against Vitória, at the Barradão, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.

What's happening?

The team is in the relegation zone, in 17th place, with 20 points. The search for a new coach has been ongoing for weeks. The club chose to part ways with Renato Gaúcho on June 18, but was unable to close a deal with a new coach quickly.

Why is it important for Vasco DA Gama?

The club's judicial instability, with Pedrinho's removal from the SAF command, and the difficulty in finding a consensus name available in the market, are the main reasons for the delay. Many foreign names were considered and consulted during the period.

What's next?

Vasco returned to the market and is treating the issue with urgency, but is facing difficulties. While the sale of SAF is not completed, the budget is quite short. The team is in 14th place in Serie A, with 45 points, and is 34 points behind leader Flamengo. The next game is against Vitória on July 22.
