Corinthians confirm new youth coordinator signing | OneFootball

Corinthians officially announced this Tuesday the hiring of Ricardo Drubscky as the new technical coordinator for the youth categories. He takes the place of Robson Zimerma, who left the club last Monday.

Drubscky has already worked at more than 20 clubs in Brazil and abroad, serving as a fitness coach, assistant coach, head coach, and football manager, in addition to teaching classes at the CBF Academy.

“I was very happy and pleased when (football executive) Erasmo Damiani invited me to come here. It may sound like a cliché, but any professional would like to be at a club of Corinthians’ stature,” said the new coordinator.

“During the times I wasn’t working as a coach, I performed coordination and management roles, so I am ready for this definitive career transition. I have always dedicated myself to understanding training, the game, and the important aspects of player development, and I hope to contribute with this experience to this powerhouse that is Corinthians,” he added.

Ricardo Drubscky met with the youth categories executive, Erasmo Damiani, and the men's team football executive, Marcelo Paz. Damiani celebrated the arrival of the new professional to the department.

“Drubscky’s arrival is another firm step in the restructuring of the player development department. Besides his experience, he is one of the most respected people in football and, having the opportunity to bring him in, we didn’t think twice,” said the executive.

Recent changes in the youth categories resulted in the departure of Carlos Roberto Auricchio, known as Nenê do Posto. He, who was the statutory director of the department, had been feeling sidelined and resigned last Monday due to disagreements with Erasmo Damiani.
