Eduardo Domínguez unveiled as Atlético Mineiro manager | OneFootball

The wait is over: Atlético Mineiro officially announced Eduardo Domínguez as their new head coach. The 47-year-old Argentine signed a contract until December 2027 and joins Galo after an extensive and successful period at Estudiantes, where he established himself as one of the most competitive coaches in South American football.

Domínguez is already in Brazil and will be in Porto Alegre this Wednesday to watch the match between Grêmio and Galo. His first training session with the team will be on Thursday in Belo Horizonte, where he will begin to implement his playing style in a team facing a demanding schedule.

“Hello, Galo fans, I am Eduardo Domínguez. I am very happy and motivated to be part of such an important team. Thank you for your trust!” expressed the coach in his first message as the club's manager, shared on the official social media channels.

The coaching staff accompanying him includes assistants Leandro Díaz and Alan Sánchez; fitness coaches Martín Frattini and Adrián Vaccarini; and performance analyst Bruno Olivetto. A trusted team that followed him in his recent projects and was key to his recent achievements.

Barba began his coaching career at Huracán in 2015, the same club where he retired as a player. He then managed Colón, Nacional of Uruguay, returned to Sabalero, went through Independiente, and, since early 2023, led Estudiantes. During this journey, he won two League Cups, one Copa Argentina, and the Argentine Clausura Championship 2025, his last major achievement before making the leap to Brazilian football.

At Atlético Mineiro, Domínguez will face a packed season: competing in the Campeonato Mineiro, Copa do Brasil, Brasileirao, and Copa Sudamericana. The challenge is immediate and high-flying, fitting for a club that is making a strong bet and introduced him with a bold message on social media: “O Barba agora é Galo.”

With a contract of almost two years and institutional support, Domínguez begins a new phase abroad with the mission to maintain his competitive DNA and fight on all fronts. The challenge has already begun.
