Staying or going? Domínguez breaks silence, backs Galo project

In Brazil, things got tense for Eduardo Domínguez. After a string of inconsistent results with Atlético Mineiro, “Barba” decided to push back against the reports claiming he was out of the club: “I’m not going to waste even a second on the lies going around.”

Meanwhile, Paulo Bracks, the club’s sporting director, also denied it: “There was no meeting of any kind about that. Eduardo met with his coaching staff, and I met with the players.” The executive flatly denied any emergency meeting to discuss a dismissal and clarified that the recent talks were strictly operational between the coaching staff and the squad.

The former Colón and Estudiantes manager recalled that he left his comfort zone in La Plata for this challenge and that, despite having a 44% win rate (5 wins in 12 matches), he remains convinced of the path he has chosen. The recent loss to Coritiba was the trigger that reignited the criticism, leaving the team in 12th place in the Brasileirão with just 14 points. This inconsistency in the team’s overall performance has created a gap between the board’s expectations and the reality shown on the pitch week after week.
