Defender who came through Corinthians youth signs with São Paulo state club | OneFootball

The defender William Magiezi, who had a stint in Corinthians' youth academy and was considered one of the most promising in his position, is now at a new club. The defender born in 2006 has signed a contract with Capivariano, a team from the interior of São Paulo, until 2028, as recorded in the system of the Paulista Football Federation (FPF).

This Monday (3), the interior team reassembled aiming for the 2026 São Paulo Cup and appeared in some photos on the team's social media – check below. The athlete left Corinthians at the end of May, for free, as his contract was not renewed with the club from Parque São Jorge.

In 2023, he was one of the main highlights for Corinthians in winning the Under-17 Paulista Championship, against São Paulo, in penalties, at Fazendinha. His good performance led coach Danilo to register him for the 2024 Copinha – 11 titles – which ended with a Corinthians title over Cruzeiro, in Itaquera. However, he did not play in any matches.

After competing in Brazil's most important youth tournament, he started appearing in Corinthians' Under-20 team but experienced a drop in performance due to off-field issues. As a result, the Alvinegro chose not to renew his contract, and the athlete left the club for free. Magiezi even trained with the Alvinegro's main team in mid-last year and the first half of 2025 – with Ramón Díaz and Dorival Júnior.

With the loss of space and decline in performance, he was sidelined by coach Orlando Ribeiro – (who left the club in August) – and later integrated into the Under-18 squad, 'Under-20 B', a category that was recently deactivated. In total, for Corinthians' youth categories, he played 82 games (58 in the Under-17 and 24 in the Under-20), scoring six goals – 47 wins, 13 draws, and 22 losses.

Corinthians, as a training club, holds the right to the FIFA Solidarity Mechanism in a future sale.
