Internacional announced today the signing of Fabinho Soldado, former director of Corinthians and Flamengo, as the new football executive. The contract is valid until December 31, 2026.
“The arrival of the professional strengthens the structure of Internacional's Football Department for the next season,” wrote the club from Rio Grande do Sul in an official statement. Fabinho Soldado was available in the market after leaving Corinthians.
The director had a contract with the São Paulo club until the end of 2026 and, despite having the support of coach Dorival Júnior and president Osmar Stabile, decided to end his cycle with the alvinegra team after winning the Copa do Brasil.
Before signing with Internacional, Fabinho Soldado was acting as director of Corinthians. However, after a conversation with the São Paulo team's leadership, it was agreed that he would leave the position.
Yes! Fabinho Soldado had a vast career at Flamengo as a director. In 2017, the former player was appointed as the club's Scout Manager, a role he held for four years. In 2021, he took on the position of Football Manager, where he worked until the end of 2024.
While Internacional hires a former Flamengo member, the red-black management is keeping a close eye on the market. The first reinforcement for the 2026 season is defender Vitão, who has already undergone medical examinations. However, names like Kaio Jorge, Gabriel Brazão, and Pedro Morisco appear as targets for Mengão in this transfer window.
