RIO DE JANEIRO -- Fluminense's Marco Oliveira is the latest Brazilian football manager to be diagnosed with COVID-19, the Rio de Janeiro club said on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old, who is better known as Marcao, will remain isolated for the next 10 days in line with public health guidelines, Fluminense said in a statement.
