Ex-Corinthians boss announces retirement live on TV | OneFootball

Multi-champion coach with Corinthians, Vanderlei Luxemburgo has put an end to his career. The announcement was made during his appearance on the show Galvão e Amigos, presented by Bandeirantes. He justified his decision with an analysis of the current environment in football, something that kept him from returning to the role.

“I don’t want to be a coach anymore, I haven’t told anyone until today. I’m taking this opportunity to say on the show that I’ve given up this life as a coach, I don’t want it anymore. For me to return to football, there would only be one condition: to do what I always did with Telê Santana and Zagallo at the clubs where I worked. I don’t want to be inferior to the Executive Director, who will boss me around.”

Vanderlei Luxemburgo had three stints at Corinthians, with the first two marked by achievements. In his first spell, between 1998 and 1999, he led the team to win the 1998 Brazilian Championship. He returned in 2001, guiding the club to lift the Paulista Championship trophy. His third and final spell, in 2023, ended without titles. In total, he managed Corinthians in 172 matches, with 76 wins, 45 draws, and 51 losses.

In addition to his time at Parque São Jorge, Luxemburgo also stood out at other clubs, winning several state and national championships in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. He also coached Real Madrid (Spain) in 2005, and managed the Brazilian National Team between 1998 and 2000, winning the Copa América in 1999.
