Palmeiras fires Vanderlei Luxemburg after loss to Coritiba | palms

Palmeiras even announced the coach’s press conference after the match, with questions previously sent by journalists. Luxembourg said it could do more to get the team out of a bad moment (three defeats in a row).

In addition to Luxa, Palmeiras also has the technical assistant Maurício Copertino and the physical trainer Antonio Mello.

The pressure to leave the coach was already enormous in recent days, especially after the defeat against São Paulo, also at home, on Saturday. The board decided to support Luxa. But the new negative result, against Coxa, enshrined the exit.

Hired at the end of 2019, Luxembourg returned to Palmeiras with the mission of making the team play in a more offensive way and command a reformulation in the squad, using many more boys from the base and giving up other “medallions”.

Without the results on the field, the pressure became stronger and, after three consecutive defeats, against Botafogo, São Paulo and Coritiba, the coach did not resist and was fired.
