Cruzeiro manager Artur Jorge extends contract until 2030

Cruzeiro Esporte Clube is navigating several developments during the 2026 season. Manager Artur Jorge has extended his contract with the club until 2030, viewing the move as a vote of confidence. Jorge noted that the club's primary challenge is matching the structural organization of top competitors like Flamengo and Palmeiras.

On the pitch, player statistics show Matheus Pereira has led the team in appearances with 50 matches, followed by Fabrício Bruno and Gerson. In terms of market value, striker Kaio Jorge is ranked as the third most valuable player in the Brasileirão with an evaluation of €41.8 million, while Keny Arroyo follows in sixth place at €30.7 million.

The club is also preparing for its upcoming match against São Paulo at the Mineirão, with ticket sales for members and the general public now underway. Off the field, striker Kaio Jorge has publicly endorsed state deputy Amanda Teixeira Dias for reelection, though he has not campaigned for his father, Jorge Ramos, who is also a candidate.
