Kleiton Lima accused of sexual and moral harassment last year. Coach of the women's section of the Santos club has returned to his duties.
The players of Atlético Mineiro and América Mineiro posed together in a photo in which they covered their mouths, before the start of their disputed match in the municipality of Contagem. Atletico Mineiro defender Layza, holder of No. 19, was notably photographed with her back turned and a player from America Mineiro lifted the club jersey bearing the same number. Lima, who denies the allegations, resigned when the accusations were highlighted by local media. However, in the absence of evidence according to the Brazilian club, he then returned to Santos at the beginning of April. The latter coached the Sao Paulo club three times (1999-2010, 2022-2023, return in 2024) and notably won two championships there (2007-2009). He was also coach of the Brazilian women's national team, with whom he won the Copa America in 2010.
