Interim achieves the second victory in a row for Verdão and breaks the losing streak at Brasileirão
Palmeiras continue their search for a coach, and “bear the extremes” with Andrey Lopes, who took over the team after the resignation of Vanderlei Luxembourg. In his third game at the helm of Verdão, the interim fulfills the role of calming the spirits of the Alviverde squad.
In the game this Sunday (25), against Atlético Goianiense, Palmeiras benefited from two serious failures by the rival defense to open an advantage. With a good defensive performance and an inspired Luiz Adriano, the team from the capital won 3-0.

Andrey’s squad followed the same pattern seen in the victory last Wednesday (21) against Tigre, for the last match of the Libertadores group stage. The more conservative option helps erase the poor performance of the interim debut, which was marked by controversial elections, and resulted in a 2-0 loss to Fortaleza.
With the positive result away from home, in addition to guaranteeing the second win without conceding goals, Palmeiras broke the uncomfortable sequence of four consecutive defeats, which had continued since the Luxembourg stage as coach of the team.
After the rejection of Miguel Ángel Ramírez, Palmeiras adopts a more discreet position in the negotiations, without statements or updates on the status of hiring. Even without a decision on his future coach, Verdão would work with some possibilities. In common, the fact that all the technicians are foreigners.
Some of the most popular names to take over are Sebastián Beccacece (Racing), Quique Setién (ex Barcelona) and Gabriel Heinze (ex Vélez). Another strong name is that of the Argentine Ariel Holan, from the Catholic University.
The new commander will find the club classified for the playoff of the Copa Libertadores, with the Dolphin of Ecuador as the first rival, a club that debuts in the knockout phase of the competition. The path to the end is considered the easiest, which can be an attractive negotiation.
Verdão’s next appointment is in the Brazilian Cup, against Red Bull Bragantino for the first match of the round of 16 of the competition, next Thursday (10/29).
