Martín Anselmi in talks with Brazilian club | OneFootball

After an experience in Portugal with FC Porto that did not meet expectations, Martín Anselmi has emerged as the main candidate to take over as head coach of Atlético Mineiro, following the departure of Cuca, who left the position on Friday. According to globoesporte, negotiations are well advanced.

The Argentine coach has worked with several clubs in Latin America and Europe. Before arriving at FC Porto, he managed Cruz Azul, Independiente del Valle, and Unión La Calera, and was also assistant to Miguel Ángel Ramírez at Internacional in 2021, where he worked with Paulo Bracks, the current executive director of football at galo.

Anselmi’s departure from FC Porto came after the Portuguese team was eliminated from the Club World Cup at the beginning of July. In the 2024/2025 season, he took charge of the blue and whites after eliminations from the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup, but was unable to reverse the trend: the team finished the league in third place, lost to Roma in the Europa League playoffs, and recorded two draws and a defeat in Group A of the Club World Cup.

The club’s management is speeding up negotiations, aiming for the new coach to take charge before crucial decisions in the season.
