The new gold and bronze Coritiba jersey The club hs produced a special jersey to honour Dirceu Krüger
In Brazil, this year, there seems to be a lot of nostalgia for the past. Or at least, a great respect for the characters of football history. After Corinthians' tributes to Bruno Giovanelli, Coritiba F.C. dedicated a third jersey to a local legend, Brazilian Dirceu Krüger, a former Brazilian club midfielder who died last year. As Giovanelli had been a symbol of Timao, so Kruger is for the white-green team, and the company decided to include what was the pattern of Kruger's jersey in this year's third kit. Krüger has spent his entire football life with Coritiba, and the Brazilian, outside the Coute Pereira stadium there is also a statue in his honor. That inspired the color of that shirt, named in his honor 'Krüger Eterno'.
