Atlético-MG board demand answers from squad and staff at Cidade do Galo | OneFootball

The defeat of Atlético-MG to Fluminense last Saturday stirred up the behind-the-scenes at the Minas Gerais club. On Monday morning, members of the club’s top management were present at Cidade do Galo with the aim of demanding accountability from the squad and Jorge Sampaoli’s coaching staff.

“Everyone at the club is aware of the difficult moment and the need for a response,” declared the club.

Rubens Menin (majority shareholder), Sérgio Coelho (Association president), Renato Salvador (SAF partner), Bruno Muzzi (CEO), and Pedro Tavares (competitions director) were at the training center.

In addition to them, the CSO, Paulo Bracks, who had already demanded accountability from the squad after the match against Fluminense, and the football director, former goalkeeper Victor, took part in the discussions.

Negative results

Although still competing in the Copa Sudamericana, Atlético-MG has not been achieving convincing results in other competitions. Galo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil last month after two defeats to rivals Cruzeiro.

In the Brazilian Championship, the team has only two wins in the last ten matches. In 15th place, Atlético-MG has earned 29 points, four more than Vitória, who is the first team in the relegation zone.
