Grêmio lives an extreme situation in the final stretch of the season. The team is classified for the Copa do Brasil semifinals, but simultaneously flirts with relegation in Série A of the Brazilian Championship, creating a scenario of tension at the club.
Coach Luís Castro is worn out with the fans and has an uncertain future after another defeat in the Brasileirão. The situation prompted the board to publicly speak out to protect the coach.
Grêmio's CEO, Alex Leitão, ruled out any change in command during the draw for the order of home matches in the Copa do Brasil semifinal. According to him, Luís Castro has the trust of the board and continues as the coach of the Tricolor Gaúcho.
Despite the dramatic situation in the Brazilian Championship, the executive stated that the club does not intend to prioritize one competition over the other. The goal is to improve the position in the Série A table while seeking the conquest of a national title in the Copa do Brasil.
