Corinthians' head of medical department resigns | OneFootball

André Jorge is no longer part of the medical department at Corinthians. The professional, who had headed the department since May of this year, resigned this Friday.

The information was first reported by Meu Timão and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva. According to the outlet, one of the reasons that led André to request his dismissal was a lack of alignment between the board and the medical department.

The professional was hired by the club in January 2024, at the start of Augusto Melo’s term. André worked as a physician until May 31 of this year, when Dr. Ana Carolina Côrte was dismissed and he took over the department. In total, it was five months as head of the medical department.

With Dr. André Jorge’s departure, the department now includes doctors Eures Facci, João Marcelo, and Ricardo Galotti.

Criticism of the medical department

During André Jorge’s tenure, Corinthians’ medical department became the target of fan criticism. Some question the high number of injuries in the squad, especially with the trio Yuri Alberto, Rodrigo Garro, and Memphis Depay, who rarely played together this year.

It is worth noting, however, that the medical department currently has only one injured player: forward Vitinho. André Ramalho and André Carrillo are already in the transition phase and could even return against Atlético-MG this Saturday.
