In a meeting held this Saturday (27.11), at the George Helal Training Center, it was decided, by mutual agreement between the parties, that Oswaldo de Oliveira will not continue to lead the squad in 2016.

"As previously agreed between the club and the coach, Oswaldo would lead the team for the last two games. After discussions between us all, it was decided today to stop work, but he is a great professional and will pursue his career with the same seriousness. We thank him for his commitment and dedication during this time together," said President Eduardo Bandeira de Mello.

"We talked and decided, together, that the club and I will go our separate ways. We understand that, at this time, it was the right thing to do. They had already spoken to me on Monday (23.11) and the agreement was to stay until the end of the championship, but we reached this agreement", said Oswaldo de Oliveira.

Jayme de Almeida will lead the team in the match next Sunday (29.11), against Atlético/PR and against Palmeiras in the last round of the championship (06.12).
