FOOTBALL 'I will go' - KCCA head coach Sergio Traguil declares exit plan
KCCA FC head coach Sergio Daniel Moniz Traguil has underlined he will leave the club the moment he casts doubt in his ability to turn the unpleasant results into victories.
His latest job, however, had him at Taguatinga Esporte Clube as a Physical Coach in Brazil between December 2021 and March 2022.
As a player, Lopez featured for Fluminense (1973-1977), Olaria FC (1978-1980), and Estrala do Norte (1981) in Brazil.
He also played for Oliveirense (1981-1982) and Maritimo between 1983-1984, with both sides in Portugal.
Lopez will be expected to ease Neiva's job further with his coaching experience, given the fact that they're compatriots who share a language and perhaps, ideas.
