Atletico Mineiro is standing out in Brazilian football with the introduction of a new role: the individual development coach. Rodrigo Leitão, who joined the club in April, was chosen for this innovative position, which aims to closely monitor a specific group of players. In an interview, Rodrigo shared details about his routine at Cidade do Galo and the philosophy that governs the club's football department. The work is treated as strategic, and many details remain confidential. Before Rodrigo, Luiz Fernando Iubel held a similar position, but the approach has changed with the new hire. The focus now is to individualize the monitoring of athletes, something that is often hindered by the intense routine of games and travel. Rodrigo is fully connected to the coaching staff led by Eduardo Domínguez, analyzing player performance and seeking continuous improvement. He explained that while he has a specific group of athletes to monitor, other players can also be included in the analysis. The selection of players for this monitoring was made in conjunction with Paulo Bracks, the club's vice president of football, and involves well-defined criteria to ensure quick and effective results.
