Botafogo's directors have a meeting scheduled with Tite this Monday night to start conversations about the possibility of the coach taking charge of the team for the final stretch of the season. The idea is to present the black-and-white project and the club's current conditions to the coach.
Tite, who has been without a club since March, has shown openness to listening to what Botafogo's leadership has to say. However, the Gaucho manager is not expected to start negotiations already this Monday. The process requires Tite to give the green light to Botafogo, who would only then negotiate values with Gilmar Veloz, the coach's agent.
Behind the scenes at Botafogo, those participating in the conversations about the arrival of a new coach are president João Paulo Magalhães Lins, vice president André Silva, football director Léo Coelho and other professionals from the scouting department.
The directors did speak with other coaches, some foreigners, but received rejections. There are difficulties in finding professionals willing to take charge of the club at this point in the season.
