Coach Loaned Out: Brazilian Club Makes Unprecedented Move
26 Sep
Summary
- Brazilian club Criciúma EC has loaned a coach, Umberto Louzer.
- Louzer joins from Guarani FC, with whom he has a contract until 2027.
- Different league schedules enabled this unique loan arrangement.

Brazilian football is witnessing an unprecedented event as second-division club Criciúma EC has loaned coach Umberto Louzer. Louzer, who is still under contract with third-division side Guarani FC until the end of 2027, will manage Criciúma until the season concludes.
This unique arrangement was made possible due to the distinct scheduling of Brazil's football leagues. The Série C season has already finished, allowing Louzer to temporarily join Criciúma, which still has nine matchdays left in its Série B campaign. Unlike in many European nations, Brazilian football leagues operate within a single calendar year.
