The commander, 71 years old, is the favorite to fill the post left by Zé Ricardo
In a critical situation in the Brazilian championship, Cruzeiro is considering the return of Vanderlei Luxemburgo to take the place left by Zé Ricardo, who could not resist the sequence of three defeats that led the team to enter Z4.
An old acquaintance of the fans, the experienced coach was called up in a similar scenario in his last visit (2021). At the time, the Minas Gerais team was also fighting against relegation, but in the Serie C of the Brasileirão, and was in 18th place. After the commander’s arrival, Raposa recorded eight wins, 11 draws and four defeats, finishing the competition in 14th place, avoiding relegation.
However, Luxa was not successful in his latest works on the national territory and is almost always remembered by clubs as a sort of fireman, who arrives to “clean the house” and “put out the fires”.
Despite not giving up his style of play, which some say is outdated, the coach has five Brazilian championship titles on his extensive CV and has been responsible for revealing countless talents wherever he has gone. At Corinthians, his last team, he launched names like Murillo and Moscardo.
Lance!, through a post on social media, decided to ask the fans: why is Luxembourg still remembered for the great teams? Watch.
