Brazilian club part ways with centre-back, post worst moments video

Amazonas FC “broke new ground” by officially announcing the termination of center-back Léo Coelho’s contract after he had taken the club to court. 

In addition to the statement announcing the end of the deal, the current 14th-placed team in Série C posted a video featuring the 33-year-old defender’s “worst moments.”

There are five clips in which Léo Coelho ends up “helping out” during opponents’ attacks. 

The player is seeking around R$ 8 million from the Manaus-based club over unpaid wages.

After spells with Uruguayan giants Nacional and Peñarol, he joined Amazonas in August last year. 

Since then, he has made 39 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist. 

The post announcing the termination and the highlight video were published on the club’s official Instagram account. 

Léo Coelho began his professional career at Nacional, a club from the state capital of São Paulo, and also had spells abroad with Fénix (URU) and Atlético San Luis (MEX). 

Amazonas have lost their last three matches in Série C.

They will return to action next Sunday (19), when they host Paysandu at Carlos Zamith. The match is part of the 15th of 19 rounds.
