Renato Portaluppi completes four years at the helm of Grêmio amidst the turmoil, without much reason to smile at his team’s recent poor performances. But the mark reached this Saturday, September 19, deserves celebrations.
- Under criticism, Renato celebrates 4 years in Grêmio; see x-ray
- See technical rotation ranking in Brazil
And not only because the greatest idol in the history of Grêmio is the longest-serving coach in Brazilian football for a long time and by far. The four years – and now one day – raise Renato to a level compatible with that of the top coaches in the major leagues in Europe.
In order not to miss such an emblematic date, the coach compared the longevity of the coach’s third pass in Grêmio with the work of the coaches of five leagues on the Old Continent.
They are the five championships of the 1st Division of: England (Premier League), Spain (La Liga), Italy (Serie A), Germany (Bundesliga) and France (Ligue 1).

The French Moulin, 53, has led the ranking as Angers manager for more than nine years. Behind him are the Argentine Simeone, from Atlético de Madrid, and the German Christian Streich, from Freiburg, aged eight and 28 days.
In other words, the ranking excludes South American soccer coaches who also support long-term work. This is the case, for example, of Marcelo Gallardo, in charge of River Plate for six years, three months and 20 days.

Portugal’s elite division has only one coach who comes close to Portaluppi. Sergio Conceição has commanded Porto for three years, three months and 11 days.
As the special ge on the rotation of technicians in Brazil shows, Fernando Diniz, from Fortaleza, and Rogério Ceni, from Fortaleza, are the technicians who appear behind Renato in the longevity ranking.
But … Then: they follow you from afar. Diniz has been in São Paulo for 11 months and 24 days. Ceni has commanded the Lion for 11 months and 21 days.

At the same time that Renato celebrates the mark reached, he also lives a moment of pressure and criticism. The fans have questioned the manager’s performance this season. Discontent increased after the defeat in Libertadores against the Catholic University.
In social networks, the thermometer of the mood of the crowd without the crowded stands, the expression #ForaRenato even had more than 50 thousand mentions last night. Unthinkable scenario for some time. There was even a fan outcry about Grêmio’s return to Porto Alegre.
In the midst of all this, Tricolor receives Palmeiras this Sunday, at the Arena, for Brasileirão. Next Wednesday, the Gre-Nal da Libertadores will play in Beira-Rio, for the fourth round of the group stage.
