I have certain that he made the best choice...
Playing in Ukraine is a big joke!
And wait the second fase because the machine is ready...Rubinho,Rogério,César,Anderson and Kléber,Vampeta,André Luiz,Jameli and Robert;Gil and Liédson.

Corinthians is reforming the Parque São Jorge to play there in Brazilian League.
Our managers want “Timão” to play there because the low public average in this stadiums.

[Juninho PTA]

After buying three players, Corinthians lost the foward Leandro.
He went to Lokomotive, a Russian team...

Thanks God fot that...

Can anyone provide information about Robert and Jamelli? I know they are new to the team and that Robert came back over from Japan after having played at Santos last year. However, what are their characteristics? Can they fill the 'meia armador' role that we so serious lack?

Also, how is Rubinho compared to Doni? It seems that Doni was never fully accepted by the torcida, but how about Rubinho? Who is the better keeper?

[slipknotter]

I heard two rumors about Liedson's failed departure to Ukraine:
1-He failed the physical;
2-The two parties couldn't agree on a contract.
I believe the second one to be more likely than the first one. I wonder if they're still looking for someone to fill Shevchencko's shoes.
I often wonder where my old idols of the past: Neto, Tupazinho, Ronaldo, Dinei, Viola, Biro-Biro (I think he's in the Sao Paulo City Council last I heard)....
Corinthians has to cut down on their keepers. Don't they have like 4 or 5 in their roster?

I don't think any 'keepers after Ronaldo were very well accepted by alvinegros. I never thought Ronaldo was the God everyone made him out to be. Our current keepers are Doni, Jonatas, Marcelo and Rubinho. Jonatas and Marcelo are both youngsters out of the youth divisions of the team. It's really hard to evaluate Rubinho, he's only played 25 games since 2001, as opposed to Doni's 92 matches since the same year. It also seems that our current roster is filled with young hopefuls.

With no doubt Rubinho is best keeper from the squad.
Robert is a great player, certainly the team will get better. Yesterday game he played very well.
Jamelli is a good player too, will bring some improvement to the team.
With all these players, Corinthians will have a great team.

Do you think perhaps the problem is Geninho or the young squad that needs to mature?

I think that the problem is lack in playing together.
And that started to change in the game against Atletico-MG.

Former player Júnior takes over as the new Corinthians coach after Geninho resigned. Rivellino also takes over as the new manager-director of the club.

Júnior chega ao Corinthians acreditando na Libertadores


RIO - O novo técnico do Corinthians chega ao clube do Parque São Jorge esbanjando otimismo. Júnior, que entrou em acordo com a diretoria corintiana ontem pela manhã, sabe que a situação da equipe no Campeonato Brasileiro é muito difícil, mas tem certeza de que pode conquistar uma vaga na próxima edição da Taça Libertadores da América.

- É claro que já queremos preparar terreno para o ano que vem, mas ainda temos chance de conquistar uma vaga na Libertadores. Vamos lutar por isso - garantiu o treinador, que será apresentado nesta sexta-feira, junto com o novo diretor-técnico do clube, Roberto Rivellino.

Mesmo sem ter trabalhado como treinador nos últimos anos, Júnior sempre acompanhou de perto o futebol brasileiro e, por isso, sabe que a atual fase do Corinthians é péssima. O ex-jogador do Flamengo confia em uma reação e pretende dar mais espaço aos jogadores experientes do elenco, pois acha que os garotos não estão preparados para levar o time à Libertadores.

- O clube negociou muitos jogadores no meio do campeonato e perdeu, por contusão, líderes como o Vampeta e o Rogério. Por causa de tudo isso, teve de fazer uma renovação acelerada. Penso que essa garotada tem de ser usada como alternativa e não como solução para o Corinthians - afirmou ele.

A amizade com vários integrantes da comissão técnica do Corinthians é uma arma que Júnior pretende utilizar para se adaptar rapidamente ao clube. A contratação de Rivellino pesou para que ele aceitasse a proposta corintiana.

Now an article in english:

Junior and Rivelino join forces at struggling Corinthians


RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - Struggling Brazilian giants Corinthians appointed former Brazil international Junior as their new coach to replace Geninho who quit at the weekend.

Junior's arrival came hours after Rivelino, a star of Brazil's flamboyant 1970 World Cup-winning side alongside Pele, was taken on as technical director.

The 57-year-old Rivelino had made Junior's appointment one of his conditions for joining the Corinthians' management team.

Corinthians are in crisis after a record 6-1 loss to lowly Juventude left them tenth in the league.

Commentating on the plight of the youthful Corinthians line-up, Junior, a former defender with Flamengo, said: "I think that using youngsters isn't the solution."

Rivelino will take control after current head of football Edvar Simoes leaves at the end of the season in December, but the duo will work in tandem in the meantime.

Geez! Talk about an embarassment.

Junior resigns as Corinthians coach after 10 days


RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Former Brazil international Junior has resigned as coach of Corinthians only 10 days after being appointed, the club said on Tuesday.

Junior, whose memorable playing career included the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, became the third coach to leave the club this year. He is the 39th coach to fall since the 24-team Brazilian championship started in March.

His decision followed 3-0 defeats by Sao Caetano and arch-rivals Sao Paulo.

"Due to the necessity of victories and the small improvement until now, I didn't see myself as having the means to give a positive return to the directors and the fans," Junior said in a statement on Corinthians's web site.

"So, I've decided to present my resignation."

During his short stint in charge, which also included a 2-1 win at Vitoria when he watched from the stands, Junior had warned the supporters to expect difficult times.

[slipknotter]

I think I may have said it here or somewhere else before, but with the exception of Franz Beckenbauer, all-time legends never amount to being any good by the touchline. Honestly, I never saw Junior amounting to much as the coach for my club. A man with no previous experience can't be expected to carry such a heavy burden, especially in a club where supporters are very involved with internal club decisions. All we need is someone to make sure we don't get relegated before the end of the season and put this one behind us.

I thought it would be a good idea to bump this thread so the new Timão members can see it.

I'd been wondering why Corinthians did not have a nice stadium of their own. When I visited my wife (at the time, she was minha noiva) in Sao Paulo back in 1995, she took to me to to see SPFC's stadium (by sweet-talking the guard into letting us in to show the American - me! - what futebol Brasileiro was all about. Of course, her immediate family were Corinthians at heart (her cousins are SPFC-ers!), so I asked her to take me to their stadium instead. She refused, saying something about what a shame it was, or something like that (besides being way the hell out of the way) and I only found out later, as they took me back to the airport, what a dump it really looked like...

Point is, I'm glad they're getting something better, if not newer.

Roberto Rivellino anuncia sua saída do Corinthians


SÃO PAULO - Roberto Rivellino não é mais o diretor técnico do Corinthians. O ex-jogador anunciou oficialmente sua decisão na manhã desta segunda-feira, encerrando um "reinado" de sete meses no cargo.

Contratado em setembro do ano passado, junto com o técnico Júnior, Rivellino estava ameaçado desde a saída do companheiro, situação que se agravou com a péssima campanha da equipe no Paulistão.
