The dugout

Leonan: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Botafogo-PB have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Danilo Ribeiro signs on for the long haul

Botafogo-PB moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Danilo Ribeiro, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Match

Squad

One of our own: Diego Nogueira joins the Botafogo-PB first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Diego Nogueira is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
