After leaving River, Marcelo Gallardo is on the radar of a great Brazilian

Weeks after finishing his difficult second cycle in River, Marcelo Gallardo was once again considered in Brazilian football. While defining his future, the Argentine coach is one of the names that sound to assume in Cruzeiro, a team that is looking for a coach after the departure of

Tite.

According to Brazilian media, the management of the Belo Horizonte club has him in the portfolio as a possible replacement and has already carried out some polls. The “Muñeco”, who is still without a team, has also been linked in recent weeks with other clubs in Brazil, such as São Paulo and Vasco da Gama, although until now it has not advanced in any negotiations

The vacancy in the bank came after Cruzeiro decided to end the Tite cycle after the 3-3 tie against Vasco da Gama at the Mineirao stadium. The result deepened the team's poor start in the Brasileirao, where they only have three points in six rounds and are in second to last place in the table, in the

relegation zone.

The departure of the experienced coach came despite the fact that his cycle had started with the conquest of the state tournament against Atlético Mineiro. However, the lack of results in the national championship ended up accelerating the decision of the management, who opted for a change of course just three months after

their arrival.

In addition to Gallardo, Filipe Luís, who left Flamengo after winning the Copa Libertadores and the local tournament in 2025, and the Portuguese player Artur Jorge, a name that had already been evaluated by the club when

Leonardo Jardim left in December.

While defining his next coach, Cruzeiro awaits the draw for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, where he will be in pot 2 and could cross paths with weighty rivals at the start of the continental tournament.
