Portuguese coach valued passage in Tricolor and remembered the title won
Bahia’s first coach in the administration of the City Group, Renato Paiva criticized the working conditions he found at Tricolor during his passage in 2023.>
In an interview with Charla Podcast, the Portuguese stated that he had a weak cast in hand and still won the title of Bahian champion. Paiva resigned in September of the same year after bad results in the Brazilian Championship. >
“And I would love to have this cast [atual]. But with a worse cast, much more limited, like or not like, there is a title of ours. We entered the history of Bahia with a title in the museum. Then, Copa do Brasil, with this limited cast, we reached the quarterfinals, the best mark in the club’s history with this cast, ”he began.>
” [o elenco] It was not limited, they would not have hired what they hired. Everton Ribeiro, Jean Lucas, Caio, Arias, Lucho… and now more. If the cast were good would not hire all this. I didn’t go to the wrong time, I entered when it had to be and did a hard job, but it wasn’t the pleasing of many people, ”he added.>
In the analysis of Renato Paiva, the Bahia Football Department, under the command of Cadu Santoro, missed the signings. The coach also said that he had to deal with young athletes that City was trying to recover in the squad. >
“I had 25 signings, but not all came at the same time. Some arrived without time to train. Many poor hires, I recognize. An idea of the city group that I understood was that Kayky, Diego Rosa and Artur Sales, who were in Europe, did not play in clubs in the middle of the table in Portugal, did not play, and they wanted to bring them to recover them, in a one cheering of millions that requires winning. But Kayky was a pity the knee injury, because he was at the best time and would not leave the starting lineup, ”he explained. >
Interference at work >
During the conversation, Renato Paiva also complained of a supposed city interference at the coaching staff’s work. What bothered the coach most was the relationship with department of performance and health of the club. >
“These things, with the operation area of the City Group, which had in my view, intervention in what was the physical area of my work, and I like to be evaluated by my work. And we had a succession of muscle injuries, which for us was not our responsibility. The lesions prevented a small cast from playing. I asked for a meeting and felt that it would not change. The crowd thinks not, but from the respect I have for the fans I saw that it was not the solution and left, I had this honesty and the fans did not realize. I want Bahia to win. Bahia is part of my life and my curriculum. Bahia’s fans are one of the fans of my life. These are marks that you can’t turn off. Nor can you disconnect that Paiva, the worst coach in the history of Bahia, according to many, has a title. Doesn’t the Bahian matters? But I was three years old without winning the Bahian, ”he said.>
