Cruzeiro announced This Monday (27) that Fernando Diniz is no longer coach of the men’s soccer team, two days after the club draw at home with Betim (1 to 1), the second stumble followed by Raposa in the Mineiro Championship-in the previous round He had been defeated by the Athletic Club (1-0) at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia. The team did not do well at Florida Cup Series either, in the United States, in the second half of this month. He tied twice, the first with Sao Paulo and then did not leave 0-0 as Atletico-MG. 
18 days ago, Diniz had renewed with Cruzeiro by the end of this year. The former coach of the Brazilian team arrived at the club in September, but the irregular campaign at the end of last year frustrated the fans: the team was runner-up of the South American Cup, after a 3-1 loss to Racing (Argentina) , and ended the Brasileirão in ninth place, outside the qualifying zone for Libertadores 2025, after 1-1 draws in decisive rounds (against Grêmio and Bragantino).
Of the total of 20 matches with Diniz on the edge of the lawn, Cruzeiro added only four wins, drew nine times and lost seven. In addition to Diniz’s resignation, the departure of assistant Eduardo Barros and fitness coach Wagner Bertelli was also announced.
From this Monday (27), the fixed coach assistant Wesley Carvalho will command the training of the cruise in an interim way.
