According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Danilo's team has already secured promotion to the Série C in 2027, but they are now aiming for an unprecedented title in the club's history. Danilo, who won the Libertadores and the Mundial de Clubes with Corinthians in 2012, believes that players who want to be remembered need to have a desire for conquests. "If you're not a player who's passed on, you need to be a champion," he said.
Danilo's own career as a player was highly successful, with titles in the Brasileirão, Libertadores, and Mundial de Clubes, as well as in the Campeonato Japonês, Copa do Japão, and Copa do Imperador with Kashima Antlers. He also won two estaduais with Corinthians, one with São Paulo, and four with Goiás.
Uberlândia will face ASA-AL in the Série D final, with the first leg taking place on Saturday, 5 September, at the Estádio Coaracy Fonseca in Arapiraca, and the second leg on Saturday, 12 September, at the Parque do Sabiá in Uberlândia.
