Cuca is no longer coach of Corinthians. This Wednesday, even after the classification in the Cup of Brazil, the professional asked the shutdown of the club of the Park São Jorge. The decision takes place exactly a week after Timon announces the coach as a new commander.
The exit would have been a request from the coach's family because of the various protests since his arrival. The information was confirmed by the professional in rapid pronouncement in the collective room of Neo Química Arena.
"Good evening, I came here in the excitement of the game, a game that was great, for the first time I could feel the pulsar of the Arena, the Faithful, in favor, it was wonderful with the conquest of this vacancy. It was a day lived like this from a dream. Before that dream came true, they had three, four days too heavy, almost a massacre what happened. I was very focused on that decision, I didn't want to take the focus. This ends up leading to the players, they moved me, offered me, I didn't ask for anything, they felt it. Like an ex-athlete I am, they felt what I'm going through. I want to be very brief, I don't want to be a victim of anything, what I'm going through is the worst thing a man can go through when his dignity is in check. When they invade the networks of daughters and wife," said the coach.
"There comes a moment when I'm gonna turn 60 next month, you weigh what's worth and what's not worth living. Right now, I want to make it worth my family which is the most important thing I have in the world. I didn't expect this avalanche. It's been a long time, resurfaced like it happened yesterday. I was tried and punished on the Internet. That has a very big consequence, in every way. I leave right now, it's not what I wanted.", completed Cuca.
On April 20th, the Corinthians He announced that Fernando Lázaro left command of the team and returned to the position of technical assistant. Less than an hour later, Timon announced Cuca as a new coach for the rest of the season.
The news, however, fell like a bomb among some of the alvinegro fans. The case of sexual abuse against a 13-year-old child, where the coach was convicted, in 1987, still as a player, was quickly remembered.
From then on, from the day of the announcement to the date of his shutdown, the coach lived tense moments behind the club. Cuca commanded the team in only two opportunities and said goodbye with the retrospect of a defeat and a victory, one of them being the ranking for the eighths of the Brazilian Cup.
