Ceará announced on Wednesday night the departure of Léo Condé from the team's technical command. The decision not to renew the contract was made by mutual agreement between the coach and the executive board. The club also confirmed the departures of assistant Renatinho Negrão and physical trainer Diego Kamimura.

Condé joined the club in June 2024 and since then has been in charge of the team in 85 matches, achieving 38 wins, 17 draws, and 30 losses. The coach led the team to promotion to Serie A at the end of 2024, as well as the Cearense Championship title.

“The People's Team expresses its deep gratitude for the commitment during their time in Porangabuçu and the respect for their journey while wearing black and white, and wishes them success in the continuation of their careers,” Ceará wrote in an official statement.

The drop in performance in recent rounds resulted in the team's relegation in the Brasileirão. Ceará finished the championship in 17th place, with 43 points. For the next season, in which they will compete in Serie B, the Cearense, the Copa do Nordeste, and the Copa do Brasil, the club stated that it is already “working on finding a new commander.”
