Will Paulo Sousa leave the Polish national team? This is what the Brazilian media say, which has been informing about the interest in the Portuguese coach from Flamengo Rio de Janeiro and Internacional Porto Alegre for several days.
Brazilian journalists on the situation of Sousa
– Internacional President Alexandre Barcellos and Club CEO Paulo Bracks flew to talks with Paulo Sousa. It’s just a fact. They want to finalize the contract and are very close to getting along – says Gustavo Fogaça from Footure.com.br in an interview with Sport.pl.
– I think that what we have been hearing about for several dozen hours is really true. Internacional envoys went to Portugal. They will try to persuade Paulo Sousa to sign a contract – adds Isabelle Costa from S1 Live.
Sousa’s agent Hugo Cajuda denies this information. – 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 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.
Brazilian journalists are rather confident that Sousa will soon start working in their country. – As far as I know, negotiations are still going on between the parties. I have no information on how the visit of Internacional directors in Portugal is going, but whoever I would not talk to, there is an optimistic tone about the possibility of a positive end to the matter – points out Jeremias Wernek from UOL Esporte.
Will the entire staff leave?
– I have information that Paulo Sousa will become the new coach of Internacional Porto Alegre. I spoke to the club president who mentioned the great project he wants to introduce. He offered Sousa a two-year contract, great development prospects. I think that is what convinced the Portuguese coach – Rodrigo Oliveira, journalist “Radio Gaucha” claims that Sousa would be taken with him It is not known who could succeed Sousa in the national team.
SC Internacional lost their coach last week after Diego Aguirre was sacked. In recent years, in Brazil, Portuguese coaches have been highly valued, and hence there is no shortage of opinions that reports about Sousa are probable. SC Internacional is a three-time national champion, winner of the 2010 Copa Libertadores.
Paulo Sousa has been the coach of the Polish national team since the end of January. Under his leadership, the white-and-reds took the last fourth place in the group for Euro 2020 and the second place in the qualifying group for the world championship, thanks to which they secured their participation in the March play-offs. They will play against Russia in the first match, and if they win in the final, they will play against the Czech Republic or Sweden. It is still uncertain who will lead the Polish team in the final fight for the 2022 World Cup.
