Náutico president Bruno Becker detailed the financial terms and contractual implications surrounding the dismissal of coaching staff Hélio dos Anjos and Guilherme dos Anjos, explaining that the club’s financial obligation involves fulfilling their salaries through the end of the season. Speaking during a press conference on Thursday, 24, the club president addressed the decision to part ways with the duo after a tenure lasting one year and five months.
Contractual Terms and Financial Obligations
According to Bruno Becker, although the formal agreement with Hélio dos Anjos and Guilherme dos Anjos ran through the conclusion of the 2027 season, a specific clause enabled the club to terminate the contract at the end of the current campaign. Consequently, the financial penalty for the dismissal requires paying out their remaining salaries through the end of the season. Becker stated that the primary financial impact moving forward stems from the upcoming hiring costs of a new technical staff rather than an extended severance penalty.
“Em relação à questão do contrato: o contrato era até o final da temporada de 2027, mas tinha uma cláusula que permitiria o encerramento do contrato ao final desta temporada. A multa, vamos dizer assim, é cumprir com os salários até o final da temporada. O custo da saída vai ser o custo da contratação do novo treinador, porque o salário de Hélio e Guilherme teria que ser pago até o final dessa temporada,” Becker explained during the press briefing.
Rationale Behind the Coaching Change
Becker emphasized that the move was executed with absolute conviction by the board, noting that executive decisions in football management require assessing precise moments for transition.
“São decisões que não são nem certas nem erradas, são decisões que são necessárias. Eu, enquanto presidente, tenho que julgar o momento e a pertinência. E assim foi feito. Entendi que era o momento adequado e foi tomada com muita segurança e convicção,” the president noted.
Search for a New Manager
During the same press conference, the Náutico leadership confirmed that negotiations for a replacement are already well underway. The administration has targeted having a new head coach on the touchline for the upcoming derby against Sport. The match is scheduled for Saturday, 26, at the estádio Esportes da Sorte Aflitos.
“Nós estamos trabalhando para já ter a presença do treinador, não só no clássico, mas amanhã aqui. O encaminhamento é para o treinador estar aqui e, naturalmente, estar no banco de reservas no sábado. Embora estejamos bem encaminhados, mas não ainda assinado, não vou externar o nome aqui,” Becker stated regarding the ongoing negotiations.
Next Steps and Fixture Context
With preparations accelerating ahead of the weekend fixture against Sport at the estádio Esportes da Sorte Aflitos, the club management expects to finalize and announce the new coaching appointment before Saturday’s kickoff. Fans and club members await official confirmation regarding who will take charge of the squad for the upcoming regional clash.
