Fernando Seabra is no longer Cruzeiro’s coach for the decisive series of the season. The football board, led by SAF owner Pedro Lourenço, opted for a change of command after the team’s irregular campaign in August. On Sunday night (22), Raposa was held to a goalless draw with Cuiabá, at the Arena Pantanal, in the Brazilian Championship.
The coach got his chance under Ronaldo Fenômeno, when he found the team in a bad phase in Serie A. Furthermore, he still had uncertainty in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, a tournament in which he was very close. semifinals. There are now two consecutive games without a win in the national points competition.
In total, Fernando Seabra has only been in the job for five months – 36 games, with 17 wins, 10 losses and nine draws. Despite the positive balance, performances below the board’s expectations and the high intervention of goalkeeper Cássio in matches have weighed on the coach, showing the fragility of the defense.
Cruzeiro is already in the market for a replacement and is analyzing names that fit SAF’s profile.
