On the afternoon of this Monday, the 5th, the Corinthians decided to fire the coach Mano Menezes.

The news was given by the former player Marcelinho Carioca and confirmed by “GE”. So far, the coach’s staff stated that they had not been informed of the decision.
Now, Timão is going to the market in search of a replacement. The favorite would be Márcio Zanardicoach of St Bernard. The commander worked in the club’s youth categories with the current management. But what prevents the agreement is that, according to the regulations of the Paulistãoa coach cannot manage two different teams in the same edition.
