Without coach since last Thursday (17/04), when he fired Ramón Díaz, Corinthians has been negotiating with Dorival Júnior, but began to look strongly to Tite this Saturday (19/04). The information was initially published by the site “Trivela”.
With difficulties in dialogue with Dorival, Tite, champion of Libertadores and the world by Corinthians in 2012, can turn the Plan A of Timão and receive contact soon.
Tite at Corinthians: Chance to happen
Tite has been without team since September 2024, when he was fired from Flamengo. Initially, Corinthians had no intention of looking for the coach, who refused Timão a few times last year. However, in front of Barreiras with Dorival and seeing that Tite has a high level of acceptance between the fans, the board studies an onslaught.
An obstacle with Tite is: behind the scenes of football, there is the information that the coach has a verbal hit with Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. The club will leave Jorge Jesus after the Club World Cup in July. The Corinthians will be able to convince Tite to undo the deal with the Arabs.
There is no information if Tite would be willing to break the deal with Al-Hilal.
The board hopes to announce the new coach before the game against Racing-URU, on Thursday (24/04), at 19h (Brasília), away from the South American Cup.
Fábio Carille at Corinthians?
If Dorival or Tite is not hired, a third name on the radar is Fábio Carille, currently at Vasco – and pressed on Cruz -Maltino. After dismissing António Oliveira in 2024, Carille was the first option of the board to take over the technical command. At the time, however, the coach’s $ 4 million fine in Santos prevented the hit from happening.
At Vasco, Carille’s fine is $ 500,000, considered viable by Corinthians.
Carille won three Paulistas and one Brasileirão for Corinthians.
