Luverdense announces departure of coach Wagner Lopes

Luverdense Esporte Clube has announced the departure of head coach Wagner Lopes after two seasons. The decision was made through a mutual agreement between the coach and the club's board.

During his tenure, Lopes led the team to several notable achievements, including reaching the final of the Campeonato Mato-grossense in 2026, which was the club's first state final in ten years. This runner-up finish secured Luverdense spots in the 2027 Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. Additionally, the team reached the round of 16 in the 2026 Série D, marking one of the club's best performances in that national division.

The club issued a statement thanking Lopes for his professionalism and his contributions to the structural and organizational restructuring of the team. No successor has been named yet.
