According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Franclim Carvalho's job is on the line, and the team's performance against Vitória will determine his future. The coach has been under pressure since he took over the team, and the defeat in Cusco has increased the criticism. However, he has been given a chance to redeem himself in the upcoming match.
The team's performance has been inconsistent, with 10 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses under Franclim's leadership. The coach has used 20 different lineups in his 21 games in charge, and the team is still searching for the ideal formation. Botafogo is currently 10th in the Brasileirão and has been eliminated from the Copa do Brasil.
Franclim has stated that the team will be different in the return match against Vitória, but the pressure is mounting. The team's performance in the Sul-Americana has been impressive, but the defeat in Cusco has raised questions about the coach's ability to lead the team.
The visit of the new investor, Gabriel de Alba, from the GDA, is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro next week. The investor will have a meeting with the club's officials and will likely visit the Nilton Santos stadium. The agreement signed in June gives the GDA the power to make decisions without the need for the repurchase of shares.
Franclim has also stated that the team will be releasing players and is looking to sign two new reinforcements. The coach's intransigence in his decision-making has been a point of contention, and the team's performance has suffered as a result.
The match against Vitória will be a crucial test for Franclim and the team. A poor performance could lead to his dismissal, while a win could give him a chance to redeem himself. The team's future hangs in the balance, and the next few days will be decisive.
