The old culture of immediacy - Technician's life in Brazil is worrying

In Brazilian football it is very unusual to see coaches at the head of their clubs over one year old. It may sound strange, but we still have a lot to learn from European culture. There coaches have full autonomy with their clubs and know that regardless of the outcome, what matters is that they will have time to develop their work.

Recently coach Mano Menezes has not endured his negative sequence of just 1 win in 18 games with Cruzeiro. Even after winning with the celestial team two Brazilian Cups of 2017 and 2018 and two state Cups of 2018 and 2019. After the 1-0 defeat against Internacional in Mineirão for the semifinal of the Brazilian Cup, Mano was fired after 3 seasons by Cruise.

Interestingly, the four clubs that are playing this year's Brazil Cup, in addition to Mano Menezes who recently left, all had at least one year of permanence. It was clear that time was very good for coaches to be able to structure themselves.

Much more effort will be required from the boards, the press and fans to end this culture of Brazilian immediacy. It will not help to bring in coaches with a mentality we can say mostly "ahead" of the Brazilian coaches. We need more than patience and education.

Tite is now a renowned coach because he has been given time to develop his work at Corinthians following the disastrous elimination in the pre-Libertadores phase against Tolima. After that, he was champion of everything and even the Club World Cup. These are examples that we must mirror.

Of the 3 best clubs in Brazilian Championship 2 are foreigners, Jorge Sampaoli for Santos and Jorge Jesus heads Flamengo. Argentine coach Sampaoli took Santos to the top of the Brasileirão with an engaging football and a fatal attack. The preseason period was very good for Santos to understand the way the Argentine wants his team to behave in the field.

For the Portuguese JJ, arrived mid-season and even with little time, puts Flamengo in third position with the best attack of the competition and one of its characteristics is the high defense along with the high mark. Innovations in Brazilian football that is working very well. For the short time compared to Sampaoli, we still have to adjust the defensive line, but we have already seen how Flamengo has completely changed its way of playing and has pleased its fans.

With the excellent performance of foreign coaches it will become increasingly clear to the boards that importing outside coaches will be a great alternative to escape from the accommodated Brazilian coaches who have stopped in time. Now, if they take a losing streak, it will be a test of whether they will continue on their teams as the culture change here will not change overnight. We need time and education.
