The cycle of Eduardo DomĂnguez at Estudiantes de La Plata has come to an abrupt end. In news that has shaken Argentine football this Thursday, it was confirmed that "El Barba" will leave the technical management of the "Pincha" to take on a new international challenge in Brazil, where he will become the new coach of AtlĂ©tico Mineiro.
Although the agreement with the Belo Horizonte club is a done deal, DomĂnguez's departure will not be immediate. The coach will lead his last match in charge of the La Plata team this Friday against Sarmiento de JunĂn. It will be an emotional farewell for a coach who left a deep mark on the institution, achieving titles and consolidating a style of play that put him in the sights of the continent's giants.
While DomĂnguez prepares his bags for Brazil, the board of directors of Estudiantes is already working against the clock to find a replacement. The goal is to minimize the impact of this significant loss in the middle of the competition. Meanwhile, AtlĂ©tico Mineiro hopes to present the Argentine strategist at the beginning of next week, trusting in his ability to lead an ambitious project in the BrasileirĂŁo and international competitions.
