New ‘King of Promotion’, first hat-trick, top scorer: Série B highlights
The last round of the 2025 Série B confirmed, this Sunday (23), that Coritiba, Athletico-PR, Chapecoense, and Remo are the new members of the Brazilian football elite for the next year.
The club from Pará was the last to secure a spot, but the return to Série A after more than 30 years was too much emotion for the fans, who stormed the field and even displayed an image of Our Lady of Nazareth – the patron saint of Pará.
And Remo’s campaign was highlighted by coach Guto Ferreira, who won seven of the 10 matches he played with the Blue Lion and also became the new “king of promotion”.

The 60-year-old coach equaled the “legendary” Givanildo Oliveira as the coach with the most promotions to Série A, each with five times.
Besides Remo, Guto Ferreira was promoted with Ponte Preta (2014), Bahia (2016), Internacional (2017), and Sport (2019).

Besides the “specialist”, Remo had an inspired striker Pedro Rocha this season.
The 31-year-old player was the top scorer of Série B with 15 goals and the second-best “assist provider” (eight assists).
In fact, Pedro Rocha scored a goal and provided an assist for the first time in his career, precisely in the 3-1 victory over Goiás.

Coritiba: historical dominance
Coxa had a solid campaign: 68 points (19W 11D 8L). It is the 3rd best campaign of the club in the points system era. And more: they became the first three-time champion in the history of Série B (2007, 2010, and 2025). Deserved trophy.

Athletico: strong finish
Athletico grew at the right moment: 12 wins in the last 16 games (2D 2L). They closed with five consecutive victories. A surge from a team that wanted more.
Eduardo Baptista: by a detail
Again in the struggle. For the third consecutive season, Eduardo Baptista was one point or less away from promotion (2023 and 2024 with Novorizontino, 2025 with Criciúma). Again… hitting the post.
