Time Alvinegro was defeated by Huracán 1-0 in Argentina and failed to advance to the playoff stage of the continental competition
He gave him goodbye to the South American Cup last Tuesday (27). The alvinegro team was defeated by Huracán 1-0 in Argentina, and could not even advance to the playoff stage of the continental competition. Eliminated in the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores and in the South American group stage, the club is experiencing a season to be forgotten regarding continental tournaments. Corinthians will now focus on the Brazilian Championship and Brazilian Cup disputes, the only competitions in which it is alive in 2025. Coach Dorival Júnior was very dissatisfied last Tuesday after the fall in South American. The coach took a response from the team in the two remaining championships in the year. In Brasileirão, Corinthians is in eighth place.
In the Brazilian Cup, the team advanced to the round of 16 after eliminating Novorizontino. “We have two important championships (Brazilian and Brazil Cup) to erase the impression left in Libertadores and South American. Our obligation and commitment now is with our fan. It’s a very difficult time for everyone,” Dorival Júnior said at a news conference on Tuesday. Corinthians will seek to rebuild the season in the midst of political chaos. Last week, then-president Augusto Melo and former club directors were indicted for theft, money laundering and criminal association in an investigation that investigates irregularities in the contract with the Betting House Vaidebet.
On Monday (26), at a meeting of the club’s Deliberative Council, the impeachment process of Augusto Melo was approved. In this way, the then agent was removed from office. After approval to the board, the president of the body, Romeu Tuma Jr, has up to five days to schedule the vote of the General Assembly of Associates, which will referend to the removal of Augusto Melo. Who assumed the position interimly was the 1st vice, Osmar Stábile, who has by his side the 2nd deputy, Armando Mendonça, elected in the plate of Augusto, but political opponents of the agent.
Osmar Stábile and Armando Mendonça gave an interview last Tuesday. The leaders said that the club’s financial situation is “very serious.” “The situation we met… we need to pay something today and have no money. I went there in the cashier and asked ‘where there is money?’ There is no. We have to change this situation with a lot of work and dedication and solve these problems. “It’s a very serious situation that people need to know. We even risk leaving Deep. We didn’t know, we learned about it early in the morning. This is true information that needs to be put to you. We need to understand everyone,” said the deputy, Armando Mendonça. “During this week a portion of 3 million wins. We went to the cashier and do not have that money,” he added.
