Rogério Ceni, who announced his retirement from football in December 2016 after 25 years with São Paulo, has conducted talks with club president Leco.
The 2-1 victory over Fluminense on Monday was crucial to ward off São Paulo from the relegation zone in the Brasileirão. According to the information from Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, São Paulo president Leco dreams to count on Rogério Ceni as the club’s coach from January. Leco and the former goalkeeper, has even discussed the subject. In addition to seeing Rogério Ceni as someone capable of taking the club in the forward direction, Leco also has his eye on his re-election. The president believes that signing the biggest idol in the club’s recent history will guarantee him a big push in April of next year, when the directors go to vote.
A defeat to Fluminense would’ve left the club just a point above the relegation zone and Leco would’ve been forced to sack Ricardo Gomes. Rogério Ceni still cannot take the job because he’s participating in two training courses for coaches by December. The first option at the moment would be Roger Machado, but the former Grêmio coach has repeatedly said that he only intends to return to work in 2017. To convince him to lead the team in the final seven rounds of the Brasileirão, São Paulo would certainly have to offer a longer contract, which would last at least until December of next season. In conversations with Leco, Rogério Ceni demonstrated a strong desire to take over at São Paulo in his first experience as a coach. In social networks, such optimism is shared by Tricolor fans, who want to see the legendary goalkeeper back at Morumbi. In the midst of his preparations for the new profession, during a course in England, Rogério Ceni revealed that he’s not considering to work at São Paulo’s rivals, Palmeiras and Corinthians.
