Ronaldo Nazario’s latest controversial decision in front of Cruzeiro

The turbulences continue at the beginning of Ronaldo Nazario at the helm of Cruzeiro as the maximum responsible. If a few days after taking over 90% of the club’s shares, with a millionaire debt in tow, he made the decision to carry out a notable salary cut to try to clean up the team’s accounts and on Tuesday he decided to dispense with Vanderlei Luxembourg as Coach, this Wednesday it is news again for the decision to back down in the signing of defender Sidnei.

The 32-year-old Brazilian central defender was announced as a reinforcement by Cruzeiro on December 13 after Real Betis terminated his contract at the end of the last transfer market in order to register William José. Sidnei was going to be the leader of the defense of a Cruzeiro that will seek the great challenge of returning to Brasileirao A; but, as has been disclosed Globe Sports, the club would have already contacted Jorge Machado, the player’s agent, through André Argol, general secretary, to express that the agreement will not be fulfilled as they cannot assume the economic conditions.

This agreement was carried out by Alexandre Mattos, a director who did not continue at Raposa after the arrival of Ronaldo Nazario as the maximum owner and who would have been a key element in convincing the player to sign for Cruzeiro. With the deal already signed and even the club itself having announced it this month, it is very possible that Sidnei and his lawyers will take legal action against the club. (D)
