Corinthians has decided to part ways with Renan Bloise, who held the position of football and scouting manager at the club. News of his departure was first reported by the Time do Povo page and later confirmed by Central do Timão.

In addition, the report also found that the decision to dismiss the professional did not come from football executive Marcelo Paz. The now former football manager already said goodbye to club staff and players on the morning of this Wednesday (8).

The decision was made directly by president Osmar Stabile. According to the information gathered, Bloise’s departure is not related to the arrival of Lucas Vergne, formerly of Vasco da Gama, who will take on the role of performance analyst for the black-and-white team, now under Fernando Diniz.

In the coming days, the tendency is for Corinthians to go into the market in search of a new football manager to strengthen the department. On the other hand, at this moment, the board does not intend to prioritize hiring a professional exclusively for the scouting area.

Internally, Renan Bloise performed duties that went beyond his official position. Encouraged by Fabinho Soldado, former executive director with whom he had already worked, he began attending training sessions on the sidelines and acted as a bridge between the board, coaching staff, and players.

Fluent in English, Bloise also played an important role in communication with foreign players, even serving as Memphis Depay’s translator. Until last Tuesday, for example, he was alongside the number 10 during a conversation with Fernando Diniz, helping with the translation.

Even after Fabinho Soldado’s departure at the end of 2025, Bloise remained at the club and kept his internal prestige, with the support of executive Marcelo Paz. At one point, the executive indicated that he saw Bloise as an option for football manager, while the club was considering — without any progress — the possibility of hiring a former player for the role.

Despite this, behind the scenes there was pressure from sectors of the club’s politics for the professional’s departure, especially because of his connection to Soldado. Initially, president Osmar Stabile had ruled out that possibility, with Marcelo Paz’s backing, but ended up opting for the dismissal.
