Coach Renato Paiva’s Surprise Resignation Shakes Bahia Football Club

The request for the resignation of coach Renato Paiva from the command of the Bahia took club officials by surprise. The decision to leave was communicated by the coach last Wednesday night, and the official announcement was made through a note hours later.

Despite the turbulence experienced by Bahia in the season, with frequent boos and protests from the fans due to the team’s bad phase in the Brazilian Championship, a competition in which it is fighting against relegation, the tricolor board remained confident in the coach’s work.

Paiva also felt that he did not have the same support from the board members and that the relationship between the parties has cooled in recent days.

With the Bahia squad off since last Monday, Renato Paiva traveled to Rio de Janeiro. He must return to Salvador in the next few days to arrange for the change.

The re-presentation of the tricolor team is scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon, with a press conference scheduled for the end of the day – the club has not yet announced who will speak to the press. Rogério Ferreira, under-20 coach, leads the activity.

Among the names speculated at the head of the team are Maurício Barbieri and Rogério Ceni, but ge got in touch with the professionals, who denied having been sought by Bahia.

No deadline has been set for an agreement with the new coach, but Bahia hopes that the new professional will already be in charge of the team before the game against Coritiba, scheduled for next Thursday.
