Ronaldo Fenômeno: Corinthians' management model not efficient | OneFootball

The former forward and world-class player, Ronaldo Fenômeno, who played for Corinthians between early 2009 and the first months of 2011, gave an exclusive interview to BandSports and was asked about the club's current management model (associative).

In the last seven years, Corinthians' debt, including the Neo Química Arena, has been increasing exponentially and is currently around R$ 2.7 billion. Fenômeno believes that the club's current management model 'is not efficient' and wishes for the Alvinegro to compete for the main titles: “I really have a great passion for Corinthians. I would like to see Corinthians competing for titles.”

“For the other fans to stop teasing me a bit (laughs). Corinthians needs to have a revolution, a change. It's clear that the management model that Corinthians adopts is not efficient. I hope the club can find a good path to be a protagonist in Brazilian football,” he said.

Given the worrying financial situation of Corinthians, which constantly concerns the fans, the SAFIEL group emerged with a proposal to transform the club into a Football Corporation, advocating pillars such as professionalization, debt equalization, and innovative governance methods.

Unlike the SAFs of Cruzeiro and Botafogo, for example, one of the project's ideas is for Corinthians fans to have some participation in the club's decisions by acquiring shares and helping to elect members of the institution's main councils.

Wearing the Corinthians jersey, Ronaldo Fenômeno scored 35 goals in 69 games, winning the following titles: Campeonato Paulista and Copa do Brasil, both in 2009. Currently, 'R9' is the manager of Real Valladolid in Spain, and in 2021, he bought Cruzeiro – in Serie B – after the approval of the Football Corporation model in the Deliberative Council of the Minas Gerais team. At the beginning of last year, the owner of the BH Supermarkets chain, Pedrinho Lourenço, took control of the club.
