Júlio César arrives at Corinthians to replace Renan Bloise, who was dismissed from the club in recent weeks and had been serving in the aforementioned role after joining Alvinegro in 2024 to be part of the scouting department. As football manager, Júlio César will be responsible for supporting locker-room management, being present on trips, and handling internal matters at the Training Center.

After retiring from the pitch in 2022, he began his executive career in 2023 at RB Bragantino, where he served as technical coordinator until April of this year, before accepting the offer to move to Alvinegro. Seeking specialization in the role, he holds qualifications in Football Management from CBF Academy, Advanced Sports Management from FGV, and Football Management from Conmebol. Even with the aforementioned résumé, he continues to improve through courses promoted by CBF Academy. 

Developed in Corinthians’ youth academy, Júlio César wore the Corinthians shirt on 140 occasions (137 as a starter), recording 74 wins, 35 draws, and 31 losses – a 61.19% success rate. In addition, he won nine titles: Brasileirão (2005 and 2011), Série B (2008), Campeonato Paulista (2009 and 2013), Conmebol Libertadores (2012), Club World Cup (2012), Copa do Brasil (2009), and Recopa Sudamericana (2013).

In 2014, he left Corinthians to play for Náutico, later going on to Santa Cruz, Red Bull Brasil, and Red Bull Bragantino, where he ended his career more than three years ago.
