In the stadium's press room, Pedro Junio, the club's CEO, announced the decision.

"We came to make a statement to first apologize to the Blue Nation for our campaign in the Brazilian Championship. Our performance is not worthy of our fans. We are here to announce the dismissal of Tite's coaching staff. We thank Tite and his staff for their services to Cruzeiro, which were full of dedication and commitment, but our results and performance have led us to make this decision to change from today."

Tite joined Cruzeiro in December 2025, after the departure of the Portuguese Leonardo Jardim, who is now at Flamengo.

In fact, Filipe Luís, formerly of Flamengo, and Marcelo Gallardo, formerly of River Plate, are available in the market and are now options to take over the command of Cruzeiro.

After six rounds and without a win in the 2026 Brasileirão, the Raposa is in second-to-last place with three points. See the full table here!

In 17 matches in the 2026 season, Cruzeiro has eight victories (all in the Campeonato Mineiro), three draws, and six losses, having scored 25 goals and conceded 22 goals.

With Tite, Cruzeiro won the Campeonato Mineiro against Atlético-MG.
