Cuca leaves the Mineiro after winning League and Cup: Will Jorge Jesus replace him?
The coach Alexi Stival 'Cuca' has renounced Atlético Mineiro for "family reasons", after taking him to win this year the League and the Brazilian Cup, according to official sources of the Belo Horizonte Club.
"He had a contract for one more year, but we asked to leave and comply with it," businessman Rubens Menin, one of the most important investors of the club and a member of a team of advisors to the board of directors of the entity.
Mineiro "expected" Cuca's departure
Menin did not clarify the "family reasons" alleged by Cuca but admitted that "they were already known" by the directors of Mineiro, so the coach's resignation did not surprise them."He was expected," he said.
Cuca had already directed Atlético Mineiro two seasons between 2011 and 2013, the latter who first obtained the Copa Libertadores for the first time.

Will Jorge Jesus replace you?
According to the local press, Atlético Mineiro has already come into contact with the Portuguese Jorge Jesús, who on Tuesday was disconnected from Benfica, as announced by the Portuguese.
Jesus was being probed by Flamengo, with whom he won the Brazilian League and the Copa Libertadores in 2019, among other titles.
However, also according to the local press, Flamengo got tired of waiting for Jesus and would already have an agreement to sign the Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa, current Poland coach.
This negotiation, however, would need an agreement with the Polish Football Federation, which until now resists terminating Sousa's contract.
