Part 5/8:
A significant aspect affecting Cruzeiro's current state is the influence of new ownership. Under Pedro Lourenço, there has been an expectation of immediate improvement within the squad, yet this has not translated into the expected results on the pitch. The sudden shift in administration has not only caused instability in coaching but has also highlighted a lack of patience from the new regime.
Diniz's work is further complicated by the fact that he is not the coach initially chosen by Lourenço. This implies a short leash for him, especially if the team continues to struggle. The transfer decisions have also raised eyebrows, with the arrival of several players who are not proving to be transformative forces within the team, thereby limiting the overall potential of the squad.
