O Corinthians faces a moment of turbulence in his search for a new technician to replace Antônio Oliveira. After a sequence of nine unwinned matches in the Brazilian Championship, Timão is in the penultimate position, with 54% chance of lowering, according to the latest projections. Internal and external pressure increases daily, but the board, led by President Augusto Melo, has not yet been able to find an ideal replacement for the team's command.
From the defeat by 2 to 0 to the Palm treesThe situation has become even more critical. O Palm trees, using a team of many young people, such as Victor Kings and Ships, expanded his undefeated series against the Corinthians for eight matches. This negative result only intensified the urgency by a change in the technical command.
Difficulties in Searching for a New Technician
The main reason why Antônio Oliveira has not yet been fired is the difficulty of President Augusto Melo in finding a new technician available and willing to take on the challenge. Several names were polled, but all refused the offer of Corinthians. Among them are:
- Martin Anselmi, 38-year-old Argentine technician, who receives a high salary at Cruz Azul, ruled out any chance of leaving his current club.
- Carvalhal, Portuguese technician, who had already been sought by other Brazilian clubs such as Atlético Mineiro, Flamengo and Botafogo, also refused the proposal.
- Fernando Diniz, currently resting with the family, also did not accept the invitation.
Emergency Solutions and Internal Pressure
Faced with the negatives of the main targets, Fabio Carille's name emerged as an emergency solution. Carille, who recently won the Chapecoense and took the Santos the second placement of Series B, has a high fine, making it difficult to get out of the Santos.
Internally, the situation has become even more complicated by conducting a survey by a director of the basic categories of Corinthians, who questioned the partners about the resignation of Antônio Oliveira. The poll leaked, generating even more pressure and wear inside the club.
Although it is one of the most spent clubs with reinforcements this season, disbursing R$ 130 million, and to have the third largest payroll in the country,$ 19.5 million per month, Corinthians cannot translate these investments into results within the field. The search for a new coach continues, and the crowd looks forward to a solution that brings back the victories and stability to the club.
