The Ceará Sporting Club is advancing in its search for a new coach and has two names as top contenders: Daniel Paulista and Argentine Mariano Soso.

Who are the candidates?

Daniel Paulista is the favorite, with 44 years, and is currently at Goiás, but is going through a difficult time at the Goiás team. Mariano Soso is also an option, with experience in teams like Alianza Lima, from Peru, and San Lorenzo, from Argentina.

What's at stake?

The Ceará Sporting Club's board is monitoring the situation and a meeting is scheduled between the parties to discuss the hiring of Daniel Paulista. The team is in 17th place in the standings, with 14 points.

What's the next step?

If Daniel Paulista becomes available on the market, the goal is to close the hiring. The Ceará Sporting Club also has interest in Mariano Soso, who has been free since leaving Defensa y Justicia, from Argentina, in May.
