Headline: Cuiabá Faces Transfer Ban Due to Debt to Former Coach Petit
Currently sitting in 12th place in Brazil’s Série B, Cuiabá is unable to register new players following a FIFA transfer ban imposed due to a R$ 4 million debt owed to former coach Petit, who led the club in 2024.
Cristiano Dresch, Cuiabá’s president, stated that the situation would not have escalated if the club had received the roughly R$ 42 million owed to them by at least four Série A teams. “Cuiabá would not have reached this situation if it weren’t for the defaults we suffered from Corinthians, Santos, Grêmio, and Atlético-MG. How can a club that is owed R$ 42 million go through this situation? I’ll find a way to pay it,” he remarked to ge.
The outstanding debts comprise the following amounts:
- R$ 18 million from Corinthians for the signing of Raniele in 2024.
- R$ 18 million from Santos for the signing of Joaquim in 2023.
- R$ 841,905.96 from Grêmio for the signing of Pepê in 2023.
Additionally, Atlético-MG reached an agreement with Cuiabá to resolve a R$ 5.25 million debt for the signing of Deyverson in 2024, which has yet to be fully paid.
Petit managed 25 matches for Cuiabá, achieving eight wins, eight draws, and nine losses before departing in August 2024. The club finished that year’s Brasileirão in 20th and last place, and only managed a 10th place finish in the previous year’s Série B.
Currently in 12th place in Brazil’s Série B, Cuiabá is barred from registering new players.

And according to Cristiano Dresch, Cuiabá’s president, the amount in question would not be a problem if Dourado had received the roughly R$ 42 million that at least four Série A clubs owe the club.

But that amount still has not been paid in full.
Petit managed Cuiabá for 25 matches, with eight wins, eight draws and nine defeats, leaving the club in August 2024.
Dourado finished that year’s Brasileirão relegated in 20th and last place. And it was only 10th in last year’s Série B.
