Cuca leaves the technical command of Corinthians after two games

Soccer

The coach communicated the decision early this Thursday (27)

Cuca is no longer coach of Corinthians. The coach communicated the decision in the early hours of Thursday (27), after the victory over Remo, which guaranteed the team’s classification to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. After the game, the coach was embraced by the squad.

“I’m leaving right now, it’s not what I wanted. You wait a lifetime to be here. It’s a request from my family: ‘Father, come, we need it’. Tomorrow I am at home, I will take care of you, ”she declared.

The announcement of Cuca’s hiring revolted part of the alvinegra fans, who did not accept the fact that the coach was convicted of involvement in a rape case. The crime occurred in 1987, in Bern, Switzerland, when he was a Grêmio player.

Cuca denied that he had participated in the crime, claiming that the girl did not recognize him as one of the rapists. On the other hand, the victim’s defense lawyer told the UOL portal that the coach was indeed recognized by the young woman.

“Before this dream came true (taking over Corinthians), there were three, four very heavy days for me, like a nightmare. It was almost a massacre what ended up happening. I was very focused on this decision, I didn’t want to take the focus away. And that ends up leading to the players, who moved me today. I’ve been here for five days, but everyone has offered to me. I didn’t ask for anything, but they felt, as a former athlete that I am, what I’m going through. What I’m going through, and I want to be very brief, because I don’t want to be a victim of anything, is the worst thing a man can go through, when his dignity is in check, when he invades the social networks of his daughters and wife with threats and offenses misplaced,” he added.
