Botafogo is going through a difficult period, but the board maintains its confidence in coach Tite, reports Globo. The club is reportedly expecting financial contributions to strengthen the squad. This stance comes after a 2-1 defeat against Remo, which intensified criticism.

According to Terra, Botafogo has no plans to sack Tite. Striker Tiquinho Soares came to his defence, saying that "the fault also lies with the players." He also criticised the emphasis placed on match bonuses.

Tite himself acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, mentioning a "relegation risk" and an "alerta ligado", according to Placar. Organised supporters went to the training centre to express their discontent, per Globo.
