At São Paulo since 2023, the doctor Ricardo Galotti announced on Friday (12), through his social networks, his departure from the Morumbi club.

The health professional accepted an invitation from coach Dorival Júnior to work at rival Corinthians, where he had worked for ten years, between 2003 and 2013. For Tricolor, both were champions of the Brazil Cup.

As AVANTE MY TRICOLOR found out, Galotti will act as the orthopedic specialist of the club from the east zone.

He is the second doctor in a row to leave São Paulo to work at Corinthians. Fábio Luiz Novi, who arrived at the club in 2023 alongside him, transferred to Parque São Jorge at the beginning of 2024 alongside psychologist Anahy Couto. Both, however, left the rival after just over two months of work there.

Galotti and Novi came to São Paulo at the request of then coach Rogério Ceni for a restructuring in Reffis. With this, Carlos Tadeu Moreno was fired and José Sanchez, a historic name at Morumbi, gained a symbolic position of medical coordinator of the transition, which he occupies to this day, without further attending the daily routine at CT da Barra Funda.

Without Galotti, the Morumbi club has in its medical department Pedro Henrique Perez, who arrived last year to replace Novi and should take over as the head of the department.

In addition to him, Tricolor has physiotherapists Felipe Marques, Carlos Alberto Presinoti, Cilmara Moretti, Bruno Nestlehner and Igor Phillip, as well as nutritionists Gabriela Giglio and Jaqueline Guedes.

In total, counting also his stint with the Brazilian National Team, to which he went after leaving São Paulo at the beginning of 2024, Dorival has taken exactly ten professionals from the Tricolor staff in total.
