Corinthians hire ex-Palmeiras coach for women's backroom staff | OneFootball

Corinthians have signed physiotherapist Camila Silva to join Emily Lima’s coaching staff and, consequently, strengthen the medical department. She arrives at Timão after seven years at Palmeiras, working with the futsal teams and youth categories, to replace Eduardo Duci, who said goodbye to the club in July.

On her social media, Camila celebrated her arrival at the club from Parque São Jorge: “Ready for the next challenge! It is with great pride and joy that I announce my arrival at Corinthians’ medical department. Taking on this responsibility in the top tier of women’s football is the fulfillment of a great dream. I arrive ready to give my best and contribute daily to this giant club. Very grateful for the opportunity, let’s go together. Go Corinthians!”

In addition to her time at Palmeiras, Camila also works as a physiotherapist at Newton, a center specializing in precision and sports medicine. She is pursuing postgraduate studies in Sports Medicine, Orthopedics, and Traumatology, with a focus on Manual Therapies. She also has a specialization in Osteopathy and is a specialist in the field at SONAFE (National Society of Sports Physiotherapy).

Before being hired by Corinthians to take on this role in the women’s football department, Camila had already played for Timão as a fut 7 player. She was linked to the team at least until June of this year.

With Camila on the technical staff, Corinthians will return to the pitch on August 31 at 7:15 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Independência, Minas Gerais, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The second match, meanwhile, will be on the 7th, Brazil’s Independence Day holiday, at 5 p.m. — with no decision yet on whether it will take place at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, or at Neo Química Arena.
