Fabinho on Corinthians’ defence: “Players know every move” | OneFootball

Football executive of Corinthians, Fabinho Soldado has been one of the main figures responsible for shielding the CT Dr. Joaquim Grava amidst the political instability the club is facing. Recently, for example, the former president Augusto Melo was removed, and Osmar Stabile was elected as the leader until the end of 2026.

The current management of Corinthians, in fact, believes that the executive has done an excellent job in terms of shielding and managing the team. This Saturday, after the game against Vitória, Fabinho commented on the role he has played in this regard and said that the athletes “know all the moves.”

“The athletes know very well all the moves. Some are athletes who know Corinthians very well, others come from other places. We have been in football for some time and know how things work. Within the CT, we have an environment of tranquility and, of course, accountability. The demands exist in the CT when they need to happen. The relationship with all collaborators is very direct, very open, as it needs to be. Corinthians has improved since my arrival, not only in sports but also structurally. It is not just Fabinho's work, but that of all collaborators, and we will continue like this. We will not let anything from outside affect us,” stated the executive.

“What I understand is that everyone needs to make their contribution. All the professionals of the club, who are paid for this, and the entire political part of Corinthians need to collaborate so that the club continues to grow, because I am absolutely sure that this is the intention of all of us who love Corinthians. If everyone does their part, we will join forces and improve what we have built so far,” he continued.

Fabinho says he is happy at Corinthians

This week, rumors circulated about a possible dismissal of Fabinho Soldado from Corinthians. However, just like on Wednesday, the football executive stated that he will continue with the work. The director was even backed in his position by Stabile, until the end of the year, in a meeting with the team at the CT.

“I have a commitment to Corinthians, very happy to be doing this work, despite the difficulties. We follow what is said, there is no way around it. But I am a football professional. I worked in another club where I participated in two administrations, so I do my best for Corinthians. I have my contract and I will fulfill it. Sometimes, things are said that are not true,” he declared.

“I will continue providing structure for these athletes, the technical staff, so that we can achieve the necessary points in the Brazilian Championship. I am very calm to work. […] I had some opportunities to open conversations with other clubs, but always very committed to Corinthians,” concluded the executive.

The pressure on Fabinho has recently increased, with cases like Kauê Furquim's and Memphis's absence from a training session. These situations irritated members of the high-ranking officials, as well as some advisors and influential people at Parque São Jorge. However, as reported by Gazeta Esportiva, the Corinthians management assures that they will not give in to pressure and supports the executive's stay at least until the end of the year.
