The contract of Marcelo at boyhood club Fluminense has been mutually terminated following an issue between the Real Madrid legend and manager Mano Menezes.
Why Did Fluminense Terminate The Contract Of Marcelo?
Brazilian tactician Menezes was ready to sub on Marcelo but then sent him back to the bench due to his attitude.
Reports indicate that Marcelo informed Mano not to speak to him anymore and not to touch him, as he was providing him with instructions before he would be introduced into the game between Fluminense and Gremio on Saturday, November 2, 2024, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Fluminense manager Mano Menezes subsequently pushed him back and opted not to sub him on anymore, with Marcelo afterward walking back to the bench.
