Out of the Corinthians squad since returning from his loan spell at Grêmio, defensive midfielder Alex Santana was reintegrated into the team after the arrival of head coach Fernando Diniz, who was one of the key factors behind the move.

According to Uol, beyond the conversation with the new manager, what also worked in the player’s favor was his excellent relationship not only with the players but also with the club’s staff. The midfielder has already even been registered by Timão for the Copa do Brasil.

Alex Santana’s outgoing attitude was well regarded by Diniz and the football department, who saw it as a positive for the group. The report says the midfielder is “very well liked” internally.
