Botafogo keeps Bellão and seeks reinforcements for defense and attack after defeat to Flamengo

oglobo30 August 2026 at 23:26

The defeat to Flamengo 3-0, this Sunday, increased the pressure on Botafogo, but will not cause an immediate change in the team command. The club maintains interim Rodrigo Bellão at the helm while the football management focuses its efforts on seeking reinforcements. Despite some more renowned coach names circulating behind the scenes, Botafogo is not in negotiation with any coach at this moment.

The internal priority is on strengthening the squad, and Bellão will continue leading the team during this period. The club seeks reinforcements for defense and attack before the transfer window closes. For defense, the closest name is that of defender Nathan Silva, in a deal around R$ 10 million.

In attack, Botafogo is working with some options and already has negotiations underway. The movement gains weight after the defeat in the derby against Flamengo and amid the need for Botafogo's reaction in the continuation of the Brazilian Championship.
