Martin Anselmi is out as manager of Botafogo, a move the club seemingly anticipated as the Argentine coach proactively released a previous interview discussing his desire to return to Liga MX.
Anselmi’s departure comes despite a 2-1 victory over Bragantino on Saturday. The club cited a lack of progress and results as the reason for the decision, stating they hadn’t seen the “evolution” expected from a championship-caliber team.
