The soap opera involving Rodrigo Caetano, Atlético and the Brazilian team will continue for a few days. Galo’s football director heard the offer from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to be national team director and will wait for Galo’s classic with Cruzeiro to announce the destination.
Negotiations for the manager to take on an important role in the Brazilian team gained momentum this Monday (29/1). Caetano traveled to Rio de Janeiro and met with Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF. The tendency is for him to become the director of national teams for the Brazilian federation.
However, due to the importance of the derby this week, the football director will not announce his decision on the matter before the game. The definition will only be announced after the meeting between Atlético and Cruzeiro, at Arena MRV, on Saturday (3/2), at 7:30 pm, for the third round of the Campeonato Mineiro.
The information about the waiting week to announce the decision was anticipated by Rádio Itatiaia and confirmed by No Attack.
Rodrigo Caetano at Atlético
Rodrigo Caetano has a contract with Atlético until the end of 2026. In December last year, he met with the board and decided to remain at the club. At the time, he was harassed by Corinthians.
According to the director, several factors influenced the choice. Before communicating the final decision to Atlético, Caetano spoke with the black and white president and investors to ensure that the team would remain competitive.
In an interview with Rádio Gaúcha on January 14, however, when rumors about the CBF’s interest began, Rodrigo Caetano stated that a call from the entity was a “summons”, not an “invitation”.
“If you are called up by a CBF, for a Brazilian team, it is not an invitation, but a call-up”, he stated.
