Coronavirus: former Brazil coach Luxemburg positive

 Former Brazil coach, current Palmeiras manager, Vanderlei Luxembourg tested positive for coronavirus. It was the same technician, 68, who announced on social media that he was infected, but asymptomatic. "At the tests that Palmeiras regularly does to all its players and staff I tested positive at Covid-19. I have already been quarantined at home, but since I am asymptomatic, I am fine, I am calm, I have no pain and I am followed by the club's doctors "explained the Brazilian technician, who had taken the lead of the Verdoro national team after the 1998 World Cup and trained it until the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Last week, Luxemburg had undergone a minor surgery and immediately afterwards he returned to the Palmeiras sports center, but was unable to conduct the training due to the subsequent positivity to the virus. The former Brazilian footballer is at his fifth experience on the bench of Palmeiras, the club with which he won the Brazilian championship in 1993 and 1994. Luxemburg has also coached Real Madrid and the big Brazilian Corinthians, Santos, Cruzeiro, Fluminense, Flamengo, Vasco da Gama, Gremio and Atletico Mineiro.
    In addition to Luxemburg, five Palmeiras players and three staff members tested positive.
    Brazil with over 64,000 deaths and 1.6 million confirmed cases of positivity, is the epicenter of Covid in Latin American countries and second in the world after the United States.
