Beyond victories: see what Corinthians can do to keep Dyego Coelho at least until the election | corinthians

President Andrés Sánchez’s trusted man, Coelho takes up a job that had the approval of the squad in the five weeks he was in charge of the team, in the final eight games of 2019.

At 37, he will seek to regain the trust of a group that is currently lost. The debut is against Fluminense, this Sunday, at 4:00 p.m. (from Brasilia), at Maracanã, for Brasileirão.

What can keep Coelho in office?

With three and a half months to go, the board knows that it will have a difficult time finding a good technician who will accept a short contract, which would avoid handing over an ongoing contract to the next address.

Thus, the best scenario would be to keep Coelho until the elections, on November 28, so that it is known who will be in charge of the club in 2021. If the results allow it, this option can be given.

Former Corinthians player Sylvinho reappears as one of the fans’ favorite names. The former left-back, however, continues with his international career project and prefers to exhaust all the alternatives in Europe before playing in the difficult Brazilian market.

Names like Roger Machado and Abel Braga are also speculated by Fiel, but without much internal force at the moment. Rogério Ceni, from Fortaleza, has been well voted in the poll of give, but your connection with São Paulo stops any kind of conversation (vote and check the partial result).

He plays for Coelho the way he managed to mess with the psychological aspect of the Corinthians squad in 2019, when he took on a team that had not won in eight games with Fábio Carille, changed the style of play and secured a place in the pre-Liberators. They were three victories, three defeats and two draws with a team that was encouraged to play more offensively and to trust in potential.

– I found a worried group, without confidence. When you take a distrustful and courageous group, you need to give morale to the players, understand their minds – said Coelho at the end of 2019, taking stock of his work on the “GE Corinthians” podcast (click to listen).

• No charge for reinforcements

As he is fully aligned with the directive, it is understood that Coelho will agree to work with the group he has in his hands and that he will hardly use interviews to demand the arrival of reinforcements.

Throughout the year, Tiago Nunes made it clear that it would be impossible to put together the team of his dreams with the material at hand. He mainly called for an attacker from the side.

Those who expected a complete integration between the professional and the base with Tiago Nunes were frustrated with the few opportunities for the boys.

Only Lucas Piton, Madson (five games), Ruan Oliveira (four) and Gabriel Pereira (one) had chances. Xavier and Roni went up, but they didn’t play. With Coelho, the trend is that more names from the U-20 have a chance. Defender Ronald, for example, was related to the game against Fluminense.

It should be remembered that this year, it was the sales of boys from the base that saved the club’s financial situation. Pedrinho was sold to Benfica for R $ 117 million, while Carlos earned R $ 25 million.
