As soon as the referee Marcelo de Lima Henrique whistled the end of the match in which Corinthians drew with Santos, at the Neo Química Arena, 1 to 1, President Andrés Sánchez began to articulate the hiring of a new coach for Timão.
That tie was the final proof for the president that Dyego Coelho could not stay ahead of the team’s technical command. There would be no more to postpone.
In the stadium changing rooms, Andrés fired calls. There was no goal, there was an idea and some limitations.
The business market was warned: Corinthians wanted an experienced coach, who would accept the challenge of saving a disorderly team struggling against relegation. At the same time this coach would have to accept a reasonably low salary by the standards of the big teams in Brazil, and a contract of only one year.
Some names came early, but all were outside Corinthians’ budget constraints. Officials said that there were coaches who asked for more than R $ 1 million a month to lead the team.
Other names that were offered to the club had vetoes. Either because they have no experience or because they don’t have such a successful resume. And the name Vagner Mancini was one of those.
At first, banned. This on Thursday, October 8.
Dorival Junior, Dunga, Luis Felipe Scolari … all these names speculated in the press and among the fans they offered themselves (and many others). Either by the technicians’ own employers or by intermediaries.
The problem is that Corinthians did not have time to negotiate. The match against Ceará was there, and the wish was that the new coach was already working.
Then came Friday, immense pressure on the president, many calls, and the initial list was reviewed.
Of the unemployed technicians, none were compatible. And the employees? Contractual fine, history, experience, constant pulse?
So Mancini earned points. In the second wave, it met all the requirements.
There was no fine with Atlético Goianiense. Going through big clubs. Considered “tough” on players. He accepted the salary offered and the length of the contract.
The liquidation took place then, between Friday and Saturday. The deal is that it would only be announced after the day, because Atlético had an important game against Bragantino and Corinthians against Ceará.
But the news was leaked just before the game, through the portal. Twitter. Everything was already decided.
Mancini would be the new coach of Corinthians.
