The journalist sees Fabio Matias as “doing a good job” for Botafogo and says: “It gives Textor peace of mind to choose a new coach. Apparently, there is a favorite under lock and key.”

temporary technician, Fabio Matias Arrived to Botafogo In January 2024, he took over the team after the dismissal of Thiago Nunes and achieved three wins in three matches. The club does not consider this to be the right time to think about recruitment, but the work is being evaluated well internally and externally, as well as in the press.

The journalist noted that Fabio was appointed specifically for these turbulent moments Thales Machadoin the program “Redação SporTV”.

The commentator also spoke about Botafogo's search for a coach.

Apparently, there is already a preferred name, which the press cannot know because the decision is closed, it is under lock and key, Textor, (Andre) Mazzocco, Alessandro (Brito) and Thero (Arruda). But he (Fabio Matias) will be the coach in these two matches. “If that happens, the pressure for it to be effective will increase a little bit, but I don't think it will happen,” he added.
