Corinthians president and football director meet Brazil coach at Mineirão | OneFootball

The president of Corinthians, Osmar Stabile, and the football executive, Marcelo Paz, were at Mineirão this Wednesday, where they met with Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach of the Brazilian National Football Team. The directors watched the 1-1 draw between Timão and Cruzeiro at the stadium, valid for the Brazilian Championship Série A.

The meeting was shared on social media by Marcelo Paz, who thanked Cruzeiro’s president, Pedrinho, for the warm welcome and for facilitating contact with the Italian coach. The conversation was also attended by Rodrigo Caetano, director of men’s national teams at the Brazilian Football Confederation.

“Alongside President Osmar Stabile, we were very well received by President Pedrinho of Cruzeiro, and we had the honor of meeting and exchanging a few words with the coach of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti. Rodrigo Caetano was also present and is always a gentleman in these situations,” posted the Corinthians executive on Instagram.

On the occasion, Corinthians presented Ancelotti with an official club jersey. The coach was in Belo Horizonte to observe potential call-ups for the next National Team list, which will be announced on March 16, ahead of friendlies against France and Croatia. This call-up will be the last before the final squad for the World Cup is decided.

Since taking charge of the National Team in May last year, Ancelotti has called up only one Corinthians player: Hugo Souza. The goalkeeper was included in the coach’s first four lists but was cut from the last FIFA window due to injury. His only start came on October 14, when Brazil was defeated by Japan 3-2 in a friendly.

With the draw at Mineirão, Corinthians reached seven points in four rounds and occupies third place in the Brasileirão. The team led by Dorival Júnior will play again next Saturday at 8:30 p.m. against Novorizontino, at Estádio Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi, for the semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista.
