O International He is losing classic to Grêmio 3-2 and reaching the sixth game without winning the last seven. If the defeat is confirmed, the Coach Roger Machado’s situation can be unsustainable in Colorado. Last week, he had already entered the spotlight and was saved after debate.
At a meeting held on the morning of last Monday (15/09), the presidency of the club chose to keep Roger at the head of the team for Gre-Nal. Internal currents considered the change of technician after a rout suffered against Palmeiras 4-1, in Sao Paulo, on the 13th, but the commander ended up gaining a vote of confidence.
The sequence of bad results in Brasileirão, coupled with the eliminations in Brazil and Libertadores, had already left huge pressure on the coach before the classic against Grêmio.
A reformulation in the Football Department-involving Vice President José Olavo Bisol and director Andrés D’Alessandro-is not discarded for the coming days either.
Roger’s contract with Inter runs until December 2026. He arrived in Colorado in July 2024 and had his bond expanded in April this year, after the unbeaten title of the Gaucho Championship, his only trophy for Internacional.
