Renato Gaúcho is aware that Botafogo may seek him out to take charge of the team. The coach stated that he does not rule out the possibility of returning to the club, even considering the controversy surrounding his previous stint.
The controversial story happened in 1992, when Renato Gaúcho became persona non grata at Botafogo. The reason was the coach's participation in a barbecue with players of Flamengo, his biggest rival, on the eve of the Brazilian Championship final.
The episode generated great repercussions at the time and marked the end of Renato Gaúcho's first stint at Botafogo. The club has not yet made formal contact with the coach to discuss a possible hiring.
