“It is a request from my family (…) tomorrow I will be home, I will take care of you,” he added. The club confirmed the departure of the coach in a statement posted on his website:
“Cuca has left his position at the request of his family, to resolve personal issues.”
The 59-year-old coach took office last Thursday at Corinthians with a contract until December, after the dismissal of Fernando Lazaro. But he was only on the bench for the São Paulo team for two games: the one on Wednesday, in which he qualified on penalties for the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup; and on Sunday, when they were defeated by Goiás (1-3) in the Brasileirao.
The announcement of the incorporation of Cuca last week had unleashed the indignation of Timao fans.
