Sport targets Thiago Carpini as potential new head coach

Following the dismissal of Gilmar Dal Pozzo after a defeat to Ceará in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, Sport is actively searching for a new head coach. Football director Bruno Reis confirmed that Thiago Carpini, formerly of Fortaleza, is among the names the club intends to contact, though discussions are currently in the early stages.

Other candidates being considered or consulted include Mariano Soso, Roger Machado, and Mozart. While Soso is favored by supporters, he reportedly faces internal resistance within the club. The board aims to finalize a decision quickly, with the hope of having the new manager present at the Ilha do Retiro for the upcoming match against Ponte Preta.
