The club is in a precarious position, with only 6 wins, 10 draws, and 12 losses in the season, and is 3 points away from Vasco da Gama, which is currently safe from relegation. Eduardo Baptista, the current coach of Criciúma, is reportedly the new target for the Inter de Porto Alegre job, despite having a contract with Criciúma. Baptista has a strong track record, with 35 wins, 20 draws, and 19 losses in 74 matches as Criciúma's coach.

Baptista has previously coached Palmeiras and Fluminense, and has a good understanding of the Brazilian football scene. His experience in the Serie B could be an asset for Inter de Porto Alegre, which is struggling to stay in the top division. The club's next match is on October 7 against Corinthians, and Baptista's appointment could be confirmed before then.

The club's decision to look for a new coach from the Serie B suggests that they are willing to take a risk to try and turn their season around. Baptista's appointment could be a crucial move for Inter de Porto Alegre, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see if he can lead the team to safety.
