Sporting Cristal announces Tiago Nunes as its new coach for Liga 1 2023

The painful defeat of Sporting Cristal in the semifinal of the Playoffs of the league 1 did not take long to bring consequences, the first was the imminent departure of Roberto Mosquera after three years in charge of the first team. However, the brewery board got down to work to find the next DT for the following season. And they did it in record time.

This is Tiago Nunes, the Brazilian coach, who has won the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa Brasil with Atlético Paranaense. He later had the opportunity to direct Corinthians, Gremio and Ceará without major notable successes.
