Fortaleza beats Palmeiras with some calm in a week that was speculated with the name of Ceni to succeed Vanderlei Luxembourg
That Sunday (18), Fortaleza beat Palmeiras 2-0 in Castelão, in Ceará, and increased the unbeaten streak to 10 games, with eight games in Brasileirão. Last week, with the resignation of Vanderlei Luxembourg, the name of Rogério Ceni began to circulate behind the scenes in Verdão. The São Paulo board has an admiration for the Fortaleza coach, and this Sunday Ceni showed why that admiration was real.

With two goals from David da Fonseca, Leão do Pici – who wore the new uniform – won Verdão in the capital of Ceará for the first time since 2005. In the other two clashes between Fortaleza and Palmeiras in 2019, the northeastern team was defeated on the inside. and outside. From home. But that Sunday night, Ceni’s team entered the field with certainty of what they had to do and the club celebrated 102 years of existence with a great sequence at the Brasileirão.
The main target to succeed Luxembourg in Palmeiras is Miguel Ángel Ramírez of Independiente del Valle, but the name of Rogério Ceni gained traction behind the scenes. According to sports, the Palmeirense board admires the style and ideas of the former player from São Paulo.
With a consolidated work, Rogério Ceni showed that his ideas, well applied, can be fatal for the opponent. And in this case the rival was Palmeiras himself, who suffered the second loss to Ceni as a coach.
Another name that was considered by the Palmeirense board of directors is another Ceará club: Guto Ferreira, the ‘Gordiola’, Ceará’s coach also seems to be among the possible coaches who can take on the coveted position of Alviverde coach.
Although there is admiration on the part of the Palmeiras’ top hats, hiring Ceni seems practically impossible at the moment. First of all, the manager seems determined to finish at least the current season with Fortaleza.
It is worth remembering that Ceni had a “parenthesis” in Leão do Pici for a month, when he went to train at Cruzeiro. After a few days in Toca da Raposa, Rogério was re-admitted to the Ceará team. Now, the coach wants to finish this year at the club for which he won three titles: Serie B, Copa do Nordeste and Cearense.
In addition, there is the rejection of the fans due to Ceni’s extreme identification with São Paulo, a fact that could make the coach start his work more under pressure than usual.
Ceni must remain in Fortaleza and may, at some point, take over Verdão. Until this happens, Galliote and the Verdão top hats will continue to admire the work imposed by the Tricolor Ceará coach.
