Ex-assistant of Lucas Piccinato reappears at Corinthians six months after dismissal note | OneFootball

Brenno Basso, former assistant to Lucas Piccinato, reappeared at Corinthians this week, six months after the club announced his exit alongside the head coach’s staff. He was seen in training kit with the women’s academy coaches during a zoo visit.

The club said in a statement that Basso was dismissed with Piccinato’s backroom team in February, then he contacted the SESMT claiming he could not be let go because of a functional injury sustained at the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores Feminina, for which surgery had been indicated. After the injury was recognised as work related, he gained one year of job stability and the club added it is complying with all legal requirements.

Brazilian labour law grants provisional stability to employees injured on duty, barring dismissal without cause for 12 months after accident sickness benefit ends. Breaches can lead to reinstatement or compensation for the stability period.

Basso joined in April 2024 and helped win the 2024 and 2025 Libertadores and the 2024 and 2025 Brasileiros. He also finished with five runners-up medals, two in the Paulista, two in the Supercopa and one in the Copa das Campeãs.

He deputised for Piccinato in 2024, guiding a 1-0 win over Palmeiras in the first leg of the Paulista final. The second leg ended in a penalty shootout defeat and Corinthians finished as runners-up.

A former professional player until 2015, Basso later worked on staffs at Athletico Paranaense from 2022 to 2023 and at Internacional, where he led the women’s side in the 2024 Supercopa and the opening rounds of the Brasileiro.
