Palermo coach creates miracle in Brazil

Martín Palermo has enjoyed success as a coach.

On November 4, in round 37 of the Brazilian National Championship (Serie A), with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Corinthians, Fortaleza extended their unbeaten streak to 9 consecutive matches (4 wins, 5 draws), officially escaping the danger zone and moving 1 point above the relegation zone.

From "death's door", Fortaleza now dreams of a happy ending under the hands of coach Palermo. According to Globo Esporte, this impressive unbeaten streak started in round 30, when Fortaleza defeated Flamengo, the team that had just been crowned champions early, with a minimum score of 1-0.

Martin Palermo took over Fortaleza in August, when the team was at the bottom of the table (ranked 18th with only 19 points after 20 rounds). From three wins and four defeats at the beginning, he transformed the team into a "defensive machine" with only 7 goals conceded in the last 9 matches, while exploiting the potential of key players to the fullest.

Now, with 43 points, Fortaleza can decide their own fate in the final round against Botafogo on December 8. If they win, Fortaleza will stay in the league regardless of the results of other teams.

If he helps the team from the Northeast of Brazil stay in the league, Martín Palermo's coaching career will turn a new page.

Among the former Argentine players who have become coaches after retiring, the former striker nicknamed “Loco” (The Madman) is the quietest and least noticed. However, he is succeeding right on Brazilian soil.

When mentioning Palermo, many people still remember the legend of missing 3 penalties in one match at Copa América 1999. This is still a scandalous record in the football world .
