After failed talks with Corinthians, ex-Flamengo man nears Cruzeiro move | OneFootball

Corinthians came close to hiring Bruno Spindel for the position of football director

Corinthians was very close to hiring Bruno Spindel, former Flamengo executive, to take over as football director after the departure of Fabinho Soldado. However, the negotiations did not have a positive outcome and, as a result, the executive is now on Cruzeiro's radar.

Recently, Cruzeiro lost Paulo Pelaipe to Grêmio. Because of this, the club from Minas Gerais is looking for a replacement and is considering Bruno Spindel as an option for the position of football director. The information comes from the newspaper ‘O Globo’.

WHY DOES CRUZEIRO WANT SPINDEL?

Previously, the executive had already been approached by the owner of Cruzeiro's SAF, Pedro Lourenço. In addition, Spindel is a trusted name of coach Tite and even gave the green light for negotiations.

However, Corinthians entered the race strongly and came close to announcing the executive. But since the São Paulo club did not send the paperwork for signing, Spindel decided to end the talks.

Without a club since August, when he left Flamengo, Spindel was, between 2019 and 2024, one of the main references in Flamengo football, working alongside Marcos Braz. However, after Luiz Eduardo Baptista was elected president, the executive lost influence with the arrival of José Boto.
