With a seven-point lead over second place, Alvinegro became the first club in history to change team commanders as chosen by the board. Related Botafogo Will it arrive this time?

Botafogo 04/10/2023 The only case that came close to Botafogo's situation was the purchase of Corinthians in 2005. In September of that year, Márcio Bittencourt was fired from Timão when the team finished second in the Interchampionacional, after . Corinthians would be crowned champions by Antônio Lopes at the end of the tournament. + See the Brasileirão table Despite Bittencourt's impressive performance, the São Paulo team's management did not believe that the coach had the necessary experience to lead the players to the title.

In 2004, Vanderlei Luxemburgo took over Santos at the start of the Brasileirão and led Peixe to their eighth title. The following year, Corinthians, as explained, changed coaches and became champions. Then, in 2009, Flamengo won the cup with interim Andrade replacing Cuca. Just nine years later, the title was won again by a club with more than one coach, this time at Palmeiras, and in the following two years also at Flamengo. + Lúcio Flávio at Botafogo: how is the coach's performance in the games he played? At Palmeiras, Felipão took the trophy after knocking out Roger Machado in the 15th round. At Flamengo, in 2019, Jorge Jesus replaced Abel Braga before the 10th round and won the title in a historic campaign. The following year, Rogério Ceni became champion after Domènec Torrent commanded Rubro-Negro for 20 rounds.

Botafogo still has mathematics – and history – in its favor to repeat as national champions. Glorioso may have been influenced by Flamengo's 2009 campaign, Andrade is an interim member of Rubro-Negro, as is Lúcio Flávio, who should now take Botafogo to the end of the championship.
