Atlético-MG wish ex-assistant Cuquinha, Cuca's brother, a speedy recovery | OneFootball

Cuquinha, former assistant of Atlético-MG and brother of coach Cuca, underwent a surgery this Wednesday at Hospital Costantini, in Curitiba. According to information from Itatiaia, the procedure was due to a heart attack and prompted a response from the Minas Gerais team.

What Atlético-MG said

Cuquinha: departure from Atlético-MG

Cuquinha left Atlético-MG last Friday, at the same time as his brother Cuca, the team's main coach. Both could not withstand the pressure due to the team's negative streak, especially due to the setback against Cruzeiro, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.

Family tragedy

Cuca and Cuquinha went through a difficult time recently. Their other brother, Amauri Stival, died at the end of July in Curitiba.

Replacement defined

The board of Atlético-MG acted quickly and defined Cuca's replacement: Argentine Jorge Sampaoli has already taken over the team.
