In addition to him, three more staff members are fired. Salient: Luxemburgo was the coach of Real Madrid when Ronaldo was in the striker.

Assistant coach Maurício Copertino, physiotherapist Antonio Mello and technical director Ricardo Rocha will leave Cruzeiro. The rumor was already in the air last week, as President Sergio Santos Rodrigues was already asked about the future of Luxemburgo. “Those are things I don’t decide on. These are the kind of questions you should ask Ronaldo,” the president said at a press conference. According to official reports, the quartet’s resignation is the result of an ‘efficiency blow’ that the club wants to make.
