The Tricolor Board presented their new commander last morning at Laranjeiras. Paulo Campos, 49 years old. This is his first experience commanding a brazilian major team, only trained medium and smaller teams out of the Rio and São Paulo big centers. Campos hopes that his international experience,training asian teams,mostly mid-eastern ones during 20 years would help him to put Fluminense in its best form again, after a terrible beginning in a very promising year.
Supporters are diverging about their new coach, who is more famed for being Romário's good friend.
Campos was inquired about his future relationship to the group,especially about serbian star midfielder Dejan Petkovic: "There won't be any privileges, he will be treated normally like all the other players"
The new coach is going to start the training sessions next friday.
For tonight's fixture against Operário,valid for Copa do Brasil, Josué Teixeira will command the squad.
