Boardroom7 Dec 2026

The scrutiny sharpens at Sampaio Correa

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Sampaio Correa is running low.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Rômulo out for 39 days

The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Rômulo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Alex Nascimento is a medical away from Sampaio Correa

The deal with Santos is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Sampaio Correa

Simão Bertelli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Sampaio Correa rebuffed over Harlley

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Grêmio have kept their man, and Sampaio Correa go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Sampaio Correa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cavi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Cavi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cavi, and the manager let it.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Fernando Cordero signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fernando Cordero commits to Sampaio Correa for another 2 years.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

A loan move for Dyogo Alves is in the works

Sampaio Correa have made the call to Flamengo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Alex Sandre beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Sampaio Correa's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sampaio Correa has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sampaio Correa

Simão Bertelli and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Cavi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cavi, and the manager let it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Sampaio Correa share the spoils with Parana

A 1‑1 draw with Parana leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Henrique Correia on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Henrique Correia after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Gui Franca knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Sampaio Correa, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Peu left out for tactical reasons at Sampaio Correa

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Alex Sandre makes the position his own

At 30 he is in the side on merit and somebody else is watching. Places at Sampaio Correa are won quietly and lost loudly, and this one was won.

In brief

  • Squad Rômulo speaks, and the room listens
  • Squad Cavi is back in contention

Squad10 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Simão Bertelli

There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Sampaio Correa

0‑5 against Criciuma, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Simão Bertelli in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sampaio Correa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Sampaio Correa agree a free transfer for Patrick Jorge

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Simão Bertelli

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Simão Bertelli, and the manager let it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sampaio Correa promote Igor Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Igor Silva has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Fábio Gomes steps up from the Sampaio Correa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fábio Gomes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Antônio Porto steps up from the Sampaio Correa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Antônio Porto has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Sampaio Correa promote Samuel Batista from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Samuel Batista has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
