Luís Castro dismissed from Grêmio and replaced by Luiz Felipe Scolari

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 17:14

The Portuguese coach Luís Castro was officially dismissed from Grêmio, a Brazilian football club. The decision was made after a sequence of poor results that compromised the team's position in the championship.

Luís Castro, who had taken charge of Grêmio's technical command, failed to reverse the team's sporting situation. The poor performance in several matches was decisive for the club's board decision.

The replacement was immediately announced, with Luiz Felipe Scolari taking over as Grêmio's head coach. Scolari, known in Brazil as Felipão, is one of the most recognized coaches in Brazilian football, with extensive experience both domestically and abroad.

The change in technical command comes at a crucial moment of the season, with Grêmio urgently needing better results to recover its position in the competition.

Why this matters

This change directly affects Grêmio fans and followers of Brazilian football, marking the departure of a Portuguese coach and the arrival of Scolari, a technician with significant experience in Brazilian football, at a time when the club needs to reverse its trajectory of negative results.
