After the sudden departure of the Portuguese, “Estrella Solitaria” sought a native from his former coach
While everything seemed to be going in the right direction, Luis Castro’s resignation as coach threatened Botafogo’s aspirations. However, Fogao managed to overcome the departure of the Portuguese during the temporary period of Caçapa. They are now ready to start a new operation with a permanent person at the helm. This is the Portuguese Bruno Lage, who has already been announced by the club.
The 47-year-old has been linked with other Brazilian clubs in recent months, such as Atlético Mineiro, for example. In any case, it was the Brazilian leader who managed to convince him for the rest of the season. According to Globo Esporte, Lage has signed a contract until December this year as the club wants to assess his adaptation before planning a long-term project.

Bruno Lage’s journey before arriving in Botafogo
Although this is his first experience in Brazil, Lage arrives in Rio de Janeiro with an interesting curriculum. His last job was in the English Premier League, where he managed Wolverhampton in the 2022/23 season and part of the 2023/23 season. Previously, he had enjoyed a successful stint at Benfica.
At home, Laje led the Lisbon giants to the league title and also won the domestic Supercoppa during his time at the Estádio da Luz between January 2019 and July 2020.

Botafogo presents a different challenge for the young coach, who will have to adapt to different footballs such as Brazilian football. He will have some pressure on his shoulders, as he takes charge of a team in an outstanding position. After 14 days, “Estrella Solitaria” leads Brazil’s standings with 36 points, ten points ahead of second place.
