Bellão's appointment comes after Carvalho's dismissal, and he will be in charge of the team for matches against the top three teams in the Brasileirão. This marks the seventh time since the start of the SAF that a coach with little or no experience in professional teams has taken the reins at Botafogo. The club has a history of promoting young coaches, with Bellão being the latest example.

Bellão's experience as a coach is limited, with this being his second stint in the role. He has previously worked as a coach at the club's youth team, and his appointment as interim coach has received widespread support from players, the football department, and club members. The club is confident in Bellão's ability to lead the team and has expressed its intention to keep him on as interim coach for the upcoming matches against Flamengo and Palmeiras.

Bellão's appointment is not the only recent development at Botafogo, with the club also announcing the signing of Tiquinho Soares, a new attacking player. The club's decision to promote Bellão to interim coach and sign Soares suggests a renewed focus on developing young talent and improving the team's performance in the Brasileirão.
