From the English edition of Marca:
Brazilian side Palmeiras have announced that Felipe Melo, one of the club's big signings for the season, will leave the club after a bust-up with head coach Cuca last week.
The 34-year-old - who played for Real Mallorca, Racing Santander and Almeria in Spain - was not called up to Palmeiras' league game against Avai at the weekend, with Cuca claiming that he was too big a player to put on the bench.
"We will continue in a different direction," said Alexandre Mattos, the club's sporting director, who also expects to receive transfer offers for Melo.
In the last hours, Felipe Melo has heavily criticised Cuca on Brazilian radio, while also admitting that he had drunk some champagne for his wife's birthday before doing so.
"He's a coward, a liar and has bad character," said Melo.
