The main reason for the failure was the disagreement over the payment of the R$ 4 million rescission fee. The Coritiba club demanded the payment in full, while Vasco attempted to parcel the value. This impasse led to the cancellation of Seabra's trip to Rio de Janeiro and his decision to remain with Coritiba.
The Vasco team was in a turbulent period when they were looking for a new coach, having parted ways with Renato Gaúcho. After negotiating with Franclim Carvalho, the team's director of football, Admar Lopes, traveled to Curitiba to meet with Seabra in person. A proposal was made, which was considered irrecusable by Seabra's staff, with a salary higher than what he was receiving at Coritiba.
The team's analyst, Henrique Américo, had already left Cruzeiro to join Seabra at Vasco, but later joined Coritiba. The comission technical was already assembled, but the disagreement over the rescission fee led to the collapse of the negotiations.
The failure of the deal opened the door for Pedro Emanuel, who was eventually hired as the new coach of Vasco. Emanuel has a positive evaluation from the team, with some players improving their performance under his guidance. The team has gained consistency defensively, improved their win rate, and is currently competing in the semifinals of the Copa Sul-Americana and the Copa do Brasil.
The Vasco team will face Coritiba in a crucial match on Saturday, with the team still in the relegation zone of the Campeonato Brasileiro. A combination of results is needed to keep the team out of the relegation zone.
