América Mineiro ended up in the Guinness Book of Records

América Mineiro ended up in the Guinness Book of Records for being the first football team to be champions ten times in a row. Between 1916 and 1925, the Belo Horizonte team won every edition of the Campeonato Mineiro. In total, there are 16 Minas state titles. Coelho still has, among his main achievements, 2 titles in the Brazilian Championship Series B (1997 and 2017) and one in the C Series (2009). A little later, in 1928, América applied the biggest defeat in the history of the Campeonato Mineiro: 14 x 0 over Palmeiras de Minas Gerais.
