Pedro Lourenço stated that he has already proposed a five-year contract and that the coach will only leave if he wants to. The Portuguese admits to being tired of the exhausting routine of a football coach.

“We had an exceptional season, we owe him a lot,” said the president.

“He has his desire not to continue as the coach, but we are talking. I hope he stays with us next year, we have the Libertadores,” said Pedro Lourenço.

The season for the Raposa is not over yet; the club is competing in the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil and believes it has a chance at the title. The last time Cruzeiro won the Copa do Brasil was in 2018, against Corinthians.
