Martin Anselmi: Botafogo Manager Update

Martin Anselmi is on its way to being the star of the season Botafogo to take on the position left by Davide Ancelotti last Thursday.

A ESPN found that the Argentine’s name gained strength behind the scenes in the last few hours, especially after the refusal by Rafael Guanaes, who chose to stay at Mirassol.

One of the points in favor of Anselmi is the vision of modern football (construction starting with the goalkeeper, for example) and, consequently, the tactical variability.

In addition to the Argentinean, other options (national and international) are being evaluated simultaneously by Glorioso. However, there is a rush to define the new coach.

Free on the market, Anselmi recently negotiated his return to Argentina to direct the Newell’s Old Boysbut the talks did not progress.

Former assistant to Spanish Miguel Ángel Ramírez, having worked at Inter in 2021, the Argentine never hid his desire to return to Brazilian football.

At 40 years old, Martin Anselmi commanded the Porto last season. Before Portugal, it passed through Mexico (Blue Cross), Ecuador (Valley Independent) e Chile (Union La Calera).
