Corinthians claim another win over Vítor Pereira in the labour court | OneFootball

The Corinthians board achieved another important legal victory last week against the team’s former coach, Vítor Pereira. The Labor Court granted the club the maintenance of the decision handed down in September of last year, when the court chose to dismiss the case.

The Portuguese coach, who managed Timão in 2022, was claiming about R$ 7.5 million related to FGTS, vacation pay, 13th salary, among other things. The court, however, understands that the case should be resolved at FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), something that was even stipulated in VP’s contract.

The Portuguese coach appealed the closure of the case, but the court upheld the decision “without a ruling on the merits.” With this, the alvinegro club was freed from the liability.

Vítor Pereira’s assistant, Antonio Alexandre Moreira Ribeiro de Ascensão, also filed a lawsuit in the Labor Court against Corinthians, claiming the amount of R$ 514 thousand on the grounds of non-payment of labor rights. However, the court also granted victory to Timão in this case.

Vítor Pereira even filed a lawsuit with FIFA. The organization ordered Corinthians to pay R$ 2.6 million to the coach, an amount lower than the R$ 7.5 million he was claiming in the Labor Court.

Vítor Pereira managed Corinthians in 64 matches, with 26 wins, 21 draws, and 17 losses in 2022. The coach led Timão to the runner-up spot in the Copa do Brasil and took over Flamengo afterwards.
