At the beginning of this year São Paulo had as a featured the return of retired goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni,[2] the owner of record numbers in Tricolor´s history such as 1,237 matches and 131 goals in 23 years. Ceni was hired to be head coach just a year after retirement, during time off the former player spent his time studying technical fundamentals of football management in some clubs of Europe like Liverpool and Sevilla.[3] In the first activity by São Paulo, the newly coach earned a preseason friendly tournament in Florida after two wins in penalty shootout, the final match was played against rival Corinthians and game ended in 0-0 (4-3 in penalties).[4] Although the victorious beginning the ex-goalkeeper remained only 6 months in charge reaching a 50% performance of points acquired by official competitive matches, Ceni take group to semi-finals being eliminated by Corinthians after two legs. In national cup, Copa do Brasil, São Paulo disputed until fourth round when was defeated by Cruzeiro in aggregated score 2-3 (0-2 home; 2-1 away). Third setback in a short period of one month came against newcomer Argentine club in international competitions, Defensa y Justicia, who stopped The Dearest doing a double equal results and scoring a single goal in Morumbi Stadium, fact that led them to next stage (0-0 away; 1-1 home). Lastly Ceni managed in first eleven rounds of Série A (national league) being fired[5] due its positioning in table as 17th place, first round that Tricolor appeared in relegation zone.
