Eduardo Domínguez, formerly of Atlético, has returned to lead Galo to the Copa Sudamericana final, making it his first final in 11 years. The Argentine coach guided the team to the 2026 final, reuniting with Galo for the competition after their shared triumph together in 2015. Domínguez took over as Galo's manager in February, leading them to qualification despite a loss to Montevideo City Torque at Estádio Centenário.
The Uruguayan side had taken an early lead in the match, with goals from Reinier, Bernard, and Thiago Borbas.
Atlético secured their spot in the final through victories over Red Bull Bragantino in the round of 16 and Santos in the quarterfinals. As Atlético prepares for the continental showdown against Boca Juniors on November 21 in Barranquilla, Domínguez will be aiming for his first Copa Sudamericana title and Galo's fifth continental title. The team remains competitive in the Copa do Brasil, facing Grêmio in the semifinals with the second leg set to take place at Estádio MRV.
