Atlético Mineiro has already started the negotiation process with Jorge Jesus, the coach preferred by Galo to succeed Cuca, who left the position due to personal reasons. According to ‘Globoesporte’, the champion of Brazil held last night the first direct conversation with the former coach of Benfica, which took place via video call. According to the same means of information, if this meeting has been fruitful, the second step will be to schedule a face-to-face meeting in a place yet to be defined. On the other hand, ‘Superesportes’ stated that Jorge Jesus already has a proposal from Atlético Mineiro in his hands, but that he does not want to respond immediately. Why? You’ll prefer to take a few days to rest and talk with the family. One of the points that will be causing some stir at the negotiating table is related to the composition of the technical team. ‘Globoesporte’ refers, however, that good news has emerged in the last few hours in this regard: Mário Monteiro (physical trainer) will not be a ‘mandatory’ presence on JJ’s staff. Why is this good news? Because Galo wants to continue to count on Cristiano Nunes (physical trainer). Another professional that Galo intends to keep is Rogério Maia, goalkeeper coach, who plays the same role in the Brazilian national team. Nothing that would constitute an obstacle to the capture of Jorge Jesus, to whom Benfica continues to pay the salary until it finds a club.
