End of the novel. Botafogo confirmed this Friday, the 30th, the departure of the coach Luis Castro. After the lack of definition regarding the millionaire offer of the Al-Nassrfrom Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese ended his contract with the alvinegro club.

“Botafogo was communicated this Friday (30) by coach Luís Castro about his decision to accept a proposal from a club abroad, which ends his performance in the team’s technical command”says the note from Botafogo.

According to columnist Bruno Andrade, from De Primeira, Cristiano Ronaldo called the coach to convince him to take charge of the Saudi team. The coach was swayed by the offer, but agreed to go to Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese is unanimous in Glorioso’s locker room, but decided to terminate the contract.

the conversation between John Textor and Luís Castro took place on the afternoon of last Monday, the 26th, where the main name of the SAF from Botafogo tried to convince the Portuguese to stay at the club. Arguments were presented, but no definitive answer was given. Therefore, the coach will have a little more time to give an answer regarding his continuity in Botafogo.

On the same Monday, the 26th, Eduardo, an important part of Botafogo, made an appeal to Luis Castro during his participation in the program “Boleiragem”, on “SporTV”: “You feel that he is happy with the group, but it’s difficult. It’s a tempting proposition. Arab football today is getting the best players in the world. It’s hard to hold, but I believe he won’t leave”.
