LUIS CASTRO IS ALSO LISTED AS AN ALTERNATIVE
Another name that circulates among fans is that of Luis Castro, former coach of Botafogo and Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia. Castro, who had an excellent campaign with Botafogo in the Brasileirão, is seen as a viable alternative. His work at Alvinegro was highly praised, and his departure was followed by a drop in performance at the Rio club, which ended up losing the national title.
FOCUS AT LIBERTADORES: DECISION AGAINST BOLÍVAR
