Corinthians name ex-keeper Julio Cesar new football chief | OneFootball

Corinthians’ return this Monday, after a 0-0 draw against Palmeiras, featured major news at CT Joaquim Grava. Julio Cesar, the former goalkeeper who played for Timão between 2005 and 2014, is taking over as the club’s football manager, a position that had been vacant since last Wednesday, when the previous person in the role, Renan Bloise, was dismissed.

Julio Cesar had been serving as technical coordinator at Red Bull Bragantino, the club where he ended his professional playing career in 2022.

“Arriving at Corinthians in this new role is very gratifying. It’s the club that developed me. I’m ready. I studied, worked, and gained the experience needed to take on this great challenge of contributing to the leadership. I want to do my best, just as I always did on and off the pitch. I want to help the club, the players, the coaching staff, and the board. I will work day and night to make sure Corinthians is always at the top. I’m very happy and fulfilled,” Julio Cesar shared.
