Marcelo Parts Ways with Fluminense Following Coach Dispute

The Brazilian club and former Real Madrid star mutually agreed to terminate his contract after a sideline altercation with coach Mano Menezes.

Marcelo's contract with Fluminense was terminated two months early by mutual agreement.
The decision followed a heated exchange between Marcelo and coach Mano Menezes during a match against Gremio.
Marcelo, who returned to Fluminense in 2023, had previously helped the team win several titles, including the Copa Libertadores.
Despite the termination, Fluminense emphasized that the emotional and institutional ties with Marcelo remain intact.
Fluminense is currently 12th in the Brazilian league and could still qualify for the Sudamericana competition.
