is to start working in Brazil by signing a contract with Internacional Porto Alegre – this is information that was released on Friday evening, disrupting the holiday peace in Polish football. According to Vagner Martins, the manager agreed to the terms of a two-year contract that he would sign on Sunday.
However, this information was denied by Sousa’s agent – Hugo Cajuda. – Friend, we are having Christmas dinner in Portugal. All I can say is there was Flamengo on Thursday, Internacional on Friday and probably another club will be on Saturday. And the truth is, we have no dealings with any club. I don’t have any meetings scheduled for Sunday – said Cajuda in an interview with Goal.com.
“Sousa, at a recent meeting with the president of the Polish Football Association – and in interviews, assured that he was focusing only on the March play-offs for the world championship with the Polish national team. According to Sport.pl, this version remains valid at the football headquarters. Sousa did not inform anyone in the Polish Football Association. that he was going to leave the Polish national team and sign a contract in Brazil “-.
And he added: “The environment of president Kulesza keeps his finger on the pulse. However, if the Portuguese were to deceive everyone and behind the back of the president and PZPN, agree to work in Internacional (or another club), the union intends to react sharply and refer the matter to FIFA, demanding a huge compensation in the amount of several million zlotys for breaking the contract and exposing PZPN to additional costs due to the need to hire a new selector. “
Sousa reacted to the rumors
Hot news from Brazil met with a strong reaction from Sousa’s agent and the Polish Football Association. How did Sousa react to all this? Well, very calmly. The Portuguese posted a post on Twitter, wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. This is the Portuguese’s first activity on this portal since November 26, when he commented on the result of the draw for the World Cup.
Internacional is a three-time Brazilian champion and a two-time winner of the Copa Libertadores, the South American Champions League. In 2006, Internacional won the Club World Cup, defeating Barcelona 1-0 in the final. In the 2019/20 season, the club from Porto Alegre became the runner-up in Brazil, but the previous season ended in a distant 12th place (in the 20-team Serie A, playing the spring-autumn system), for which Diego Aguirre paid the job.
If the information from the Brazilian media is confirmed, the Polish national team will have to look for a new manager three months before the key matches in the fight for the 2022 World Cup. On March 24, the Poles will play away with Russia. If they win, they will play at home against the winner of Sweden – Czech Republic in the play-off finals.
