Martín Anselmi in talks with Brazilian club | OneFootball

After an experience in Portugal serving FC Porto that did not meet expectations, Martín Anselmi emerges as the main candidate to take over the technical command of Atlético Mineiro, following the departure of Cuca, who left the position on Friday. According to globoesporte, negotiations are advanced.

The Argentine coach has stints at various clubs in Latin America and Europe. Before arriving at FC Porto, he guided Cruz Azul, Independiente del Valle, and Unión La Calera, and was also assistant to Miguel Ángel Ramírez at Internacional in 2021, where he worked with Paulo Bracks, current executive director of football for galo.

Anselmi's departure from FC Porto occurred after the Portuguese team's elimination from the Club World Cup in early July. In the 2024/2025 season, he took over the blues and whites after eliminations in the Portugal Cup and the League Cup, but was unable to reverse the trajectory: the team finished the championship in third place, lost to Roma in the Europa League playoffs, and recorded two draws and a defeat in Group A of the Club World Cup.

The club's management is accelerating negotiations, with the aim that the new coach assumes duties before crucial decisions in the season.
