A professional who already belongs to Atlético has important support to become the club’s football director. Tempo Sports found that the black and white football manager, Victor Bagy, is the name suggested by both the current occupant of the position, Rodrigo Caetano, and the Galo coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, to take on the role.
The former goalkeeper has been at Atlético since 2012 and started working as a football manager in March 2021, shortly after hanging up his boots. Victor is considered one of the club’s greatest idols, being decisive in winning the 2013 Copa Libertadores.
On the field, there were 424 games and, in addition to the most important title on the continent, he won the Recopa Sul-Americana (2014), the Copa do Brasil (2014) and the Campeonato Mineiro (2013, 2015, 2017 and 2020). As a manager, he was champion of the Campeonato Brasileiro (2021), Copa do Brasil (2021), Supercopa do Brasil (2022) and Mineiro (2021, 2022 and 2023).
Atlético’s board of directors has not made any decision regarding Caetano’s replacement, who will go to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), where he will be director of national teams. The black and white leadership has been evaluating names, but keeps them confidential.
Caetano’s departure
Rodrigo Caetano should soon be announced as the new CBF selection director. He will return to work with Dorival Júnior, new coach of the green and yellow team, with whom he worked at Vasco and Fluminense.
The director has been at Atlético since 2021 and had a contract until the end of 2026. It is not yet defined when he will take up the position at CBF. He will travel with the black and white delegation for this Thursday’s game (8/1), against Athletic, in São João del-Rei, for the fourth round of the Campeonato Mineiro.
