O Atlético-MG announced this Friday, the 22nd, that the coach Turkish Mohamed no longer part of the team! The Argentine was sacked after the Galo failed to overcome the cuiabáat Arena Pantanal, this Thursday, 21, and left with the tie by 1 to 1. In charge of the team, the coach added 45 games, 27 wins, 13 draws and 5 defeats, with an advantage of 69.6% .
After the Brasileirão match, the coach appeared clearly dejected for the press conference, disapproving of what he saw on the field. The coach’s situation was no longer favourable, as the Atlético-MG was coming from an elimination in the Copa do Brasil to the Flamengoespecially after winning the first leg 2-1.
Thus, the coach was already swinging in charge after a sequence of four rounds without a win in the Brasileirão. The reaction, which kept him in charge, took place against Flamengo in June. After that, Galo overcame the opponent in the first leg, but then returned to show unstable performances and not compatible with the ones we were following.
There was even a meeting of the collegiate body last Friday, the 15th, and it was decided that the coach would remain in office after Botafogo’s game, for the 17th round. In the match, held last Sunday, 17th, the team won 1-0 and relieved the pressure on the coach, but the draw against Cuiabá was the last straw.
Who arrives?
Now, Atlético-MG begins the saga to find an immediate replacement that can lead the team in the fight for leadership of the Brasileirão, in addition to the dispute of the quarterfinals of Libertadores, against palm trees. Renato Gaucho and Odair Hellmann were the names considered for the position, but according to information from the “GE” website, the chances of success are minimal.
Besides them, Jorge Sampaoliwhich has been free on the market since leaving the Olympique de Marseille, is the other option requested by the fans on social networks. When he was in charge of Galo, the Argentine took third place in the 2020 Brasileirão, and recently followed the duel between Flamengo 2×0 Atlético-MG at Maracanã, for the Copa do Brasil.
