Bragantino has been improving its performance year by year. Since the team was acquired by the Red Bull group, they have consistently aimed for spots in international competitions.
In 2023, the team had a surprising performance, earning a spot in the preliminary rounds of the Copa Libertadores, a testament to their merits.
Expectations for the Season
Last year, Bragantino’s goal was to finish in the top 10 of the Brazilian Serie A, but they exceeded expectations by securing a spot in the Copa Libertadores qualifiers. Throughout much of the competition, the team had realistic chances of winning the title.
They have continued to grow by signing talented young players, positioning themselves as a rising force in Brazilian football. For the 2024 season, the goal is to secure a direct spot in the Copa Libertadores. With their current reinforcements, Bragantino is now considered one of the powerhouses in Brazilian football.
Transfer Market Movements
For the current season, Bragantino made strategic signings to keep the team’s average age low while bringing in promising talent. The most notable acquisition was defender Eduardo Santos from Slavia Prague. The team’s recruitment strategy focuses on young players with significant future market value.
Additionally, experienced players like defender Pedro Henrique were brought in to ensure tactical control across the field. In the 2024 transfer window, Bragantino sold several players, totaling €19 million in sales, but the new signings are strong replacements to keep Pedro Caixinha’s squad well-organized.
Current Team Performance
As of the eighth round of the 2024 Brazilian Serie A, Bragantino has only suffered one defeat. The team has shown consistency and resilience, with the offensive line being a highlight, having scored 12 goals so far. To achieve their season’s goal, they need to maintain their strong points average. The next match against the formidable Atlético Mineiro will be a significant early-season challenge, as both teams have high ambitions for the season.
The Future
Over the years, Bragantino has been establishing itself as one of the top teams in Brazil.
With strong infrastructure, a robust squad, and an excellent coach, it is only a matter of time before they start winning titles and become a major force in Brazilian football.
