In a surprising turn of events for fans of Estudiantes, coach Eduardo Domínguez has announced his departure from the club to accept a new role at Atlético Mineiro. Domínguez will lead his final match for Estudiantes against Sarmiento, after which he will rescind his contract with the club. This news follows other significant departures from Estudiantes, including Santiago Ascacibar to Boca Juniors and Cristian Medina to Botafogo, highlighting a turbulent period for the team that recently claimed the Argentine championship.

Domínguez's exit is particularly notable as he was at the helm when Estudiantes triumphed in December by defeating Racing in the Clausura final, securing their title as the current champions of Argentinian football. His tenure had already seen Estudiantes add another trophy to their cabinet, winning the Trofeo de Campeones shortly thereafter against Platense. Atlético Mineiro's decision to hire Domínguez comes in the wake of their own coaching changes, having recently parted ways with Jorge Sampaoli.

The implications of Domínguez's move could resonate throughout Argentine football, as clubs adjust to the shifting talents in management. His departure from Estudiantes might prompt a search for a new coach capable of maintaining the club's competitive edge and addressing the growing list of player departures. Meanwhile, Atlético Mineiro hopes that Domínguez's expertise will help stabilize their performance as they navigate the challenges of the upcoming season in Brazilian football.
