The Porto Alegre Gremio announced on Friday the hiring of coach Vagner Mancini to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari, dismissed at the beginning of the week after the poor results of the Porto Alegre club, which is in the relegation zone in the Brazilian Championship.
Vagner Mancini, who had been working as a coach for América Mineiro, will be with the Gaucho club until 2022, where he repeats as a coach and where he was also a player. In 2008, Mancini was in charge of the Gremio during five games of the Gaucha Cup and one of the Brazil Cup and in 1995 he served as a midfielder for the tricolor.
During the official presentation, in a press conference after finishing today’s training session, the new coach indicated that he will work to create a more aggressive team. “Mancini’s team will always be offensive. Offensive in what the game calls for. A soccer team must be aggressive at all times, forward or backward. The game is divided into two parts: when you have it and when you don’t have it That. With the ball at your feet, you have to play, “he said.
Mancini will try to lift the Gremio, which with 23 points is in the nineteenth position of the League, in the relegation zone. His appointment came four days after the Porto Alegre club announced Scolari’s disengagement, following the 1-0 loss he suffered while visiting Santos last weekend.
The new coach arrives at the Guild with the technical assistant Regis Angelis, the performance analyst Claudio Andrade and the physical preparation assistant Lucas Itaberaba.
