Key details
Ceará Sporting Club announced on March 28, 2026, the dismissal of CEO Haroldo Martins and Executive of Football Lucas Drubscky after a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Retrô in the Copa do Nordeste. Both had been with the club for two years, overseeing a tumultuous period marked by two state championship titles, promotion to Brazil's Série A, and relegation back to Série B. This recent loss, coupled with a broader decline in the team's form, prompted club leadership to make changes in the football department to prevent further setbacks.
During their tenure, Martins and Drubscky contributed to significant moments for Ceará SC, but the last seven matches without a win and the recent defeat to the club's fiercest rival Fortaleza in the state championship intensified scrutiny. Despite the lack of expected results, head coach Mozart remains in his role, supported by a solid overall start to the season with 9 wins, 7 draws, and only 1 loss across 17 matches.
The club officially thanked Martins and Drubscky for their efforts and wished them well in their future endeavors. The presidency's decision reflects a strategic intervention aimed at stabilizing the team’s performance and safeguarding the coach's position as the squad seeks to recover momentum in coming competitions.
