The president of Cruzeiro, Sérgio Santos Rodrigues, believes that the club is “in the fight” for access to Serie A of the Brazilian Championship. Currently in the runner-up in Serie B, the coach believes that “the location of the table does not reflect the campaign” of the club. By FIFA sanction, Raposa started the competition with six points less.
“Of course, we still want to fight for access, we know it is possible. We are going to work and our focus is totally on Serie A,” the president said in an interview with Fox Sports’ Expedient Futebol. If access does not arrive, the club does not rule out selling players.
“This does not happen, it is clear that we will have to use other assets that Cruzeiro has to find a new way to raise funds and, of course, readjust the debt,” he added.
As for the club’s campaign (five wins, three draws and seven losses) in Serie B, Rodrigues lamented the setbacks for “details” and praised the Raposa squad.
“The table placement does not reflect this team’s campaign. I don’t think Cruzeiro’s squad is low, but we see a lot of young people, we lose matches in detail. Of course, we think we have to adjust the squad in some way.” so, in addition to bringing other young people, we brought more experienced people, “he said.
Without a coach since the resignation of Ney Franco, the president has avoided naming, but believes that the new commander will be announced until Friday, when Cruzeiro receives Juventude. According to the director, Raposa is looking for a victorious coach with experience in Serie B.

Yesterday, as soon as we returned to the hotel after the game and the conversation with Ney, we started contacts, and that was until 12:30 am, 1 am. Today, 7 am, We were already in contact, he has been calling all day. Listening a lot and asking a lot to reach the best decision as soon as possible, but we are very sure that we will have this name on Friday, “said Sérgio Rodrigues, who explained the departure. by Ney Franco:
“It ended up not going as expected, and the timing of the Cruzeiro is urgent. Unfortunately, we couldn’t wait any longer to make further adjustments, but of course we also know the general limitations.”
