Júnior Rocha leads Paysandu into decisive clash against former club Ferroviária

Paysandu coach Júnior Rocha is preparing to face his former club, Ferroviária, in a critical Série C match. Following a 2-1 victory over Confiança, Paysandu has moved into fourth place with 26 points, positioning the team closer to qualifying for the decisive quadrangular stage.

Rocha has achieved 23 victories in 38 matches since joining Paysandu eight months ago, a tenure that includes winning the Campeonato Paraense and the Copa Norte and Copa Verde. The upcoming match in Araraquara represents a significant reunion, as Rocha previously led Ferroviária to promotion to Série B in 2024.

The match is vital for both sides: Paysandu seeks to secure its spot in the next phase, while Ferroviária, currently in ninth place with 24 points, is fighting to remain within the top eight.
