Corinthians announce Fabinho Soldado’s departure | OneFootball

Fabinho Soldado is no longer the football executive at Corinthians. The club announced the departure of the professional on Tuesday afternoon. The Football Department will now continue its search for a new director to fill the position, which had been held by Soldado since January 2024.

“Sport Club Corinthians Paulista announces that football executive Fabinho Soldado is no longer part of the Club’s Football Department. The decision was made by mutual agreement between the parties,” the statement begins.

Fabinho Soldado had a contract with Corinthians until the end of 2026 and, despite having the support of coach Dorival Júnior and president Osmar Stabile, decided to end his relationship with Timão after winning the Copa do Brasil.

Short tenure

The former player was hired by Corinthians in January 2024, at the start of Augusto Melo’s administration. He took on the role of executive and, in addition to handling the more operational tasks, also participated in negotiations and the assembly of the Timão squad.

With his departure speculated in recent days, Fabinho received offers from other Brazilian clubs and has been mentioned as a target for Internacional.

Corinthians loses an important figure

Fabinho Soldado played a key role in shielding the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center from the political crisis that affected Parque São Jorge this year. With the trust of the squad, Fabinho brought calm to the players even during the impeachment process of president Augusto Melo and kept them focused on competitions.

The executive was considered the link between the board and the squad, providing reassurance to the players in situations involving delayed payments or even police cases involving Corinthians.
