After "barring" Renato Gaúcho's press conference, Admar Lopes, Vasco's football director, makes a brief assessment of the coach's work. The speech took place after the 3-0 defeat suffered by RB Bragantino, this Sunday (24), in São Januário, in a game valid for the 17th round of Series A of the Brazilian Championship.


The decision not to let the commander speak to journalists after the match was made jointly between the management and the squad, in order to show support for the coach. Therefore, in the evaluation, Lopes preferred not to define Renato's work as bad.


"Renato's assessment, after losing 3-0, is difficult to answer. The score since he arrived is positive. We started the championship very badly, there was a good recovery with Renato. We need to fluctuate less. The impact and respect he has is enormous, so we believe he will be able to give us this stability", said Admar Lopes, alongside Thiago Mendes.

Reinforcements
Admar Lopes was also asked about the possibility of reinforcements arriving in the middle of the year. The football director preached caution due to the financial situation, but admitted that the players who arrived in January have not yet adapted to the club.


"The window opens in July, there is internal discussion about this. We understand that there are players from the last window who have not yet adapted and have not delivered what we expected. There is also uncertainty about Vasco's financial capacity, so there is nothing very advanced about the window", he stated.


Renato's third spell at Vasco
Renato Gaúcho is in his third spell as Vasco coach on March 3, 2026. The signed contract is valid until December of this year.

Admar Lopes, director of Vasco:
Conversation with Renato


"It was a conversation that lasted more than an hour. Renato felt the criticism and the defeat very much. The group felt the defeat very much. There were many exchanges, conversations between men, and the group and the board decided to take this action because Renato cannot take the blame for the defeat alone."

Thiago Mendes, Vasco midfielder:
Result


"It was a shameful result, it's crazy, I didn't expect to lose like that in front of our fans. We had a meeting, we know what we have to do, Vasco's shirt is heavy. Leaving the fans in the lurch, as we did, is difficult. I hope we get our heads together and this doesn't happen again."


Responsibility


"We are the ones who take the field. Today, the coach would be the one who would show up. We had (to show the face), because he is not to blame. He plays, we play. The responsibility is all ours."


Fan sentiment


"Personally, I apologize to the fans. It wasn't the result we wanted. We have to work, we have an important game on Wednesday, and get out of the situation we are in. It's been three consecutive defeats."
