Part 3/7:
Although the official announcement has yet to be made, insiders have indicated that Vasco Matos has agreed to take the job at Botafogo. After a tumultuous coaching search since Arthur Jorge's departure, the club is eager to solidify its staff and regain stability. However, this coaching transition has not been without challenges.
Notably, the negotiation process has raised concerns regarding the club's reputation as a reliable paymaster, which comes in light of ongoing financial issues faced by John Textor, the owner of Botafogo. The deal reportedly includes a hefty release clause of €6 million that Botafogo must honor to secure Matos's services from Santa Clara, raising questions about the team's financial strategy moving forward.
