Seabra was fired after a goalless draw against vice-bottom Cuiabá last Sunday. This disappointing result added to two months of instability and poor performances following a strong start.
Shortly after announcing Seabra’s dismissal, the Cruzeiro board acted quickly and announced Diniz’s appointment, who will be in charge for the upcoming match against Libertad on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sul-Americana. In the first leg, Cruzeiro won 2-0 in Paraguay, putting them in a strong position for qualification.
Diniz had been without a club since his dismissal from Fluminense in July after a series of poor results that left the team at the bottom of the Brazilian Championship. He ended a lengthy tenure at Fluminense that began in 2022, during which he won the 2023 Copa Libertadores, the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana, and a Carioca title. Stay on top of the game with BB Score.
