Botafogo announced Renato Paiva’s resignation shortly after midnight on Monday, June 30. The departure was directly linked not to the elimination of Alvinegro from the FIFA Club World Cup, against Palmeiras, but how the club behaved on the field.

According to a report from “GE.Globo”, shortly after the defeat to Palmeiras, Texor gave an important speech during lunch with players and staff at the hotel where Botafogo was staying in the city of Philadelphia.
The leader was proud of the campaign, but said he wanted to see the team practicing an offensive and purposeful style of play, and spoke of “Botafogo Way” (something like “Botafogo Style”, in free translation). Renato Paiva and his commission were present.
