Part 1/5:
The Fall of Atlético Mineiro Under Milito
The recent dismissal of Atlético Mineiro's coach, Milito, is not solely a result of a seemingly trivial defeat against Vasco da Gama. Instead, the decision reflects a deeper underperformance throughout the year, despite some surface-level achievements.
A Year of Mixed Results
Milito's tenure at Atlético Mineiro began with promise around April, when the team showcased an impressive style of play. However, after that initial success, the team began to struggle drastically. A series of experimental formations and strategies ultimately failed to yield the desired results. Despite having a talented roster, including the standout player Hulk, the team's performance did not meet expectations.
