On the morning of this Monday, São Paulo dismissed four more professionals working daily at the club. This process is part of a profound restructuring of the Barra Funda training center, which began last Friday with the dismissal of seven other employees.

Four more professionals were dismissed this Monday. They are: Paulo Eduardo Teixeira (physiology assistant), Pedro Henrique Perez (doctor), Cilmara Moretti (physiotherapist), and Carlos Alberto Presinoti (physical rehabilitation coordinator).

The information about the new dismissals at São Paulo was initially published by UOL and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Last Friday, seven other professionals had already been removed from the staff at the Barra Funda training center: Almir Rosano, Ailton Rodrigues, and Ricardo dos Santos (masseurs), Cristiano Ramos (laundry leader), Adriano Titton (fitness coach), Daniel Barbosa (security manager), and Luís Fernando de Barros (physiologist).

São Paulo decided to act behind the scenes after a season marked by structural failures and an unprecedented number of players in the medical department.

The changes affect the health and performance core of the Tricolor, precisely the most questioned sector in 2025. The club is trying to reorganize an area that has faced alarming numbers: 70 injuries throughout the year, with 36 muscular, a rate higher than the total number of matches played by the team in the season.

In some positions, the impact of the injuries created an even more severe scenario. From the end of August, São Paulo was left without any available forwards — Ryan Francisco, Calleri, and André Silva suffered ligament injuries in the knee and are still recovering.
