Vasco made good progress in hiring Zé Ricardo. Started on Monday by Alexandre Campello and Jorge Salgado, the conversations with the coach continued this Tuesday, when the club fired Ricardo Sá Pinto and also decided to leave the executive André Mazzuco.
The teams of the two boards that are working on the transition of soccer leadership have been jointly playing the negotiation, and the return of Zé Ricardo to São Januário is for details. The understanding is for a one-year contract. If he does well, the coach brings in assistant coach Cléber dos Santos. There is optimism on the part of Vasco about the success and expectation of this Wednesday’s announcement.
The name of Zé Ricardo, even, passed through the sieve of Alexandre Bird, who will assume the executive direction of football. Bird, still under contract with São Paulo, arrives in Rio next week to begin his work at Vasco.
The arrival of Bird, in fact, chills the possibility that Rodrigo Caetano will return to São Januário. Identified with Vasco and a strong name in football, Rodrigo had two conversations with Jorge Salgado.
One occurred even before the definition of who would preside Vasco. The other, more recent, happened while Rodrigo was seen as a priority for São Paulo.
Values were not discussed, but the arrival of a professional in soccer reduced the chances of a success with Caetano.

Luxa has her name debated by the new management
In addition to Zé Ricardo, the new board, encouraged by advisers, sought information about Vanderlei Luxembourg. People linked to the group had the return that Luxa would not be 100% to lead a team at this time.
This Tuesday, however, the coach, through Twitter, guaranteed that he did not receive an invitation from Vasco. His manager, Márcio Carmo, also says they didn’t want him.
Within the soccer domain, Luxa was seen as a good name in the short term for being a “tough” professional. Zé Ricardo, younger, is treated as a technician capable not only of solving the fight against relegation, but also of doing a longer job.
