Galo set sights on domestic market under Eduardo Domínguez | OneFootball

Officially presented this Friday (27th), Atlético-MG’s new coach, Eduardo Domínguez, addressed one of the topics most anticipated by the black-and-white fans: the search for reinforcements.

With the international transfer window about to close next Tuesday (March 3rd), the Argentine manager adopted a cautious tone, but indicated that the club should focus its efforts on the domestic market.

Confidence in the squad and local opportunities

The coach assured that he is not worried about the tight deadline for foreign signings. According to him, Brazilian football offers excellent options should the club need to look for new players until March 27th, the date when the national window closes (focused on internal moves after the state championships).

Galo’s executive football director, Paulo Bracks, echoed this stance and confirmed that the board will remain alert: “As long as the window is open [...] there are possibilities for exits and arrivals.”

Although leaving the door open for new signings, Domínguez made a point of valuing the current group of players before requesting reinforcements.

The coach emphasized that the team’s potential was one of the attractions for taking the job: “I believe in these players. The positive thing I saw in coming here is the great possibility for the players and the team to grow.”

The target in defense: Kevin Lomónaco

The defensive system was one of the central points of the press conference, especially the club’s interest in Argentine defender Kevin Lomónaco, from Independiente. Although he praised the player, calling him “one of the great players in Argentine football today,” Domínguez explained that the agreement with the board is, first and foremost, to evaluate the squad already at Cidade do Galo.
