Match4 Jan 2027

Sampaio Correa sink to position 9

6 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market4 Jan 2027

Lipão puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sampaio Correa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Sampaio Correa

Igor Pato was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Victor Hugo at Sampaio Correa

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Victor Hugo is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Sampaio Correa spend $51.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $51.0K for Geovane, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Patrick falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The Criciuma Gazette

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Silverware for Criciuma

They will talk about this season in this town for a long time. The trophy comes home with the squad, and the route is already agreed.

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Criciuma are going up

Promotion, confirmed and mathematical, and a town that will not sleep much tonight. Whatever else this season had in it, it ends a division higher than it began.

Market14 Dec 2026

The unthinkable, invoiced: Yuri Tanque sold

Internacional arrived with $12.8M and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Gui Lobo damages knee ligaments — 121 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 121 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The terraces14 Dec 2026

Criciuma sell a favourite for $12.8M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Yuri Tanque was one of the reasons people came, and $12.8M does not replace that by itself.

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Thiaguinho has agreed to leave Criciuma for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market14 Dec 2026

Criciuma may not be able to give Marcelo Hermes what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Marcelo Hermes wants continental football; whether Criciuma can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Real improvement from Pedro at Criciuma

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Pedro is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Gabriel Kazu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gabriel Kazu and Criciuma agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The Sampaio Correa Herald

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Sampaio Correa agree a free transfer for Thiaguinho

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.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Igor Pato falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad14 Dec 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Denival's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
