Al Shabab, from Saudi Arabia, announced this Sunday the hiring of coach Vítor Pereira. The Portuguese, who has controversial spells at Corinthians and Flamengo, has been without a club since April 2023, when he was fired by the Rio team.

At Al Shabab, Vítor Pereira will have at his disposal the Belgian Yannick Carrasco and the Croatian Ivan Rakitic, two players with a good international CV. Furthermore, he will be a rival to Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who play for Al Nassr and Al Hilal, respectively.

The coach, fired by Flamengo in April 2023, seeks to recover in the football market after a catastrophic spell in Brazil. His name was constantly linked to controversy, especially after his troubled departure from Corinthians to Rubro-Negro.

At the end of 2022, after losing the Copa do Brasil decision to Flamengo, Vítor Pereira left the technical command of Corinthians due to family problems. However, at the beginning of 2023, he was made official as the new coach of the Rio club, which angered Corinthians fans.

In addition, the Portuguese player filed a labor lawsuit against Corinthians, alleging that the São Paulo club had owes around R$7.5 million. The justification would be the non-payment of FGTS, 13th salary, vacation bonus among other charges.

Flamengo fans also do not remember the coach in a positive way. The commander led the team to an early elimination in the Club World Cup, in addition to the defeat to Independiente del Valle, in the CONMEBOL Recopa. The coach also lost the final of the Campeonato Carioca to Fluminense, a result that led to his dismissal.
