The Brazilian club has two main priorities: deciding the outcome of the continental tournament against Independiente Rivadavia and finding a new coach. Fluminense FC is trying to keep the team focused on the Libertadores, with the next match against Independiente Rivadavia scheduled for this Tuesday at 19h (Brasília time) at the Estádio Malvinas Argentinas.
Marcão, a player who has been well-received by the fans, is being considered to take over the team temporarily while the club searches for a new coach. The team's reaction to Zubeldía's departure has been positive, with a 3-2 comeback victory over Palmeiras at the Maracanã stadium just two days after the Argentine coach's departure.
The club's delegation, including the president, vice-president, director-general, executive director of football, and administrative coordinator, travelled to Mendoza to ensure a smooth transition. The team's focus is on advancing in the Libertadores, and the search for a new coach will likely begin after the match against Independiente Rivadavia.
