Marcelo (36) leaves the team less than a day after a clash with Fluminense (62) coach Manu Menezis.
Fluminen announced on its official website on the 3rd (local time) that it would terminate the contract under mutual agreement with Marcelo.
Marcelo returned to Fluminensee last year and made a great contribution to lifting the trophy of a major tournament. Although he is saying goodbye now, his emotional bond with the club will be maintained constantly.
The sudden termination of Marcelo’s contract shook the soccer community. Above all, it was highly likely that he would finish his career in Pluminen City as it was his former team. The exact reason was not revealed, but it is said that behind the breakup of Pluminen City and Marcelo, there was a rift with Menezis.
The incident started like this. Pluminensee had a 2-2 draw with Gremio at the Istazio de Janeiro-Dou Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday in the 32nd round of the 2024 Campéonato Brasileiro Ceri A home game. 안전놀이터
In the 45th minute of the second half, when Menegis was leading 2-1, he ordered Marcelo and Marqui News to be replaced. The intention was to get Marcelo to tighten his defense and let in Marqui News, who had good personal skills, to get as much ownership as possible.
However, just before the replacement, Menegis and Marcelo collided. After several tense conversations, Menegis pushed Marcelo’s chest and finally ordered him to return to the bench. In the end, Marcelo’s participation was unsuccessful, and John Kennedy took the field instead. Just before the end of the match, Fluminensee dedicated a loss and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
“I tried to put Marcelo in, but I heard something I didn’t like, and I changed my mind,” Menezis said in an interview after the game. According to Brazilian media “Globo Esporte,” Marcelo reportedly turned to Menezis out of nowhere, saying, “Why are you holding my arm? Do you want to win the favor of fans?”
Fluminensei held a meeting immediately and decided to terminate his contract with Marcelo due to his unsightly challenge to the manager’s authority. According to local media, Marcelo has continued to make troublesome moves, cutting off communication with the players after returning to Fluminensei.
