To cut costs, Corinthians lay off youth academy staff | OneFootball

This Tuesday, the management of Corinthians dismissed three employees from the club’s youth academy. The layoffs were reportedly motivated by cost reduction.

Among those dismissed is Claudinei Muza. He was hired during the Augusto Melo administration, when the youth department was headed by Claudinei Alves. He held the position of administrative manager.

In addition to Claudinei, Renato Barros, who worked as the under-20 goalkeeping coach, and Thiago Polletti, supervisor of the category, were also dismissed from Corinthians.

Cost reduction

In a statement to Gazeta Esportiva, the statutory director of the youth academy, Carlos Roberto Auricchio, known as Nenê do Posto, claimed that the cuts were due to financial reasons. The order reportedly came from the club’s board, presided over by Osmar Stabile.

Youth academy restructuring

Since the beginning of Stabile’s administration, Corinthians has been undergoing a restructuring in its youth categories. The club released a number of athletes signed during Augusto Melo’s term and implemented several changes among the department’s leadership.

Recently, for example, Timão dismissed Alex Brasil and brought in Erasmo Damiani for the position of youth academy executive. In addition, the club hired William Batista to take over the under-20 team and replaced the coach responsible for the under-17s: Raphael Laruccia left for the imminent arrival of Guilherme Nascimento.
