Martín Anselmi is going through his most delicate moment as the head coach of Botafogo, with his position at risk due to internal dissent and fan discontent, as the team sits in 18th place in the Brasileirão standings. The continuity of the Argentine coach is not a consensus within the club's structure: while the executives in Brazil are more inclined to keep Anselmi, the final decision rests with John Textor, the owner of the SAF. The squad considers the Argentine the 'least to blame' for the crisis. According to Globoesporte, the pressure is such that internal sources have even doubted whether Anselmi would remain in charge until Saturday's match against Bragantino. The same publication also mentions the significant costs that Botafogo would incur in the event of a dismissal, namely the immediate payment of a severance package corresponding to the salaries until the end of the coach's contract, which is valid until December 2027, in addition to the difficulty of finding an available replacement in the market.
