The Portuguese only had a contract until December this year and will return to Europe after a year of working in Brazil.
After the defeat against Atlético-MG on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 13), the president of Corinthians, Duílio Monteiro Alves, has confirmed that coach Vítor Pereira will not work for the club in 2023.
The Portuguese had a contract with Timão only until December, and the reasons why he did not stay in Brazil were personal.
“I recently had a small health problem, but I did not miss the opportunity to talk with Fiel in person today.”
“Today, we close a cycle. Vítor Pereira and his coaching staff will not stay at the club. The contract ends and has not been renewed,” said Duilio Monteiro Alves.
The president also assessed Corinthians’ 2022 season:
“Corinthians has played a good season, in my opinion. We have done several evaluations in the last month.”
“When there was a lot of talk about planning, Corinthians had already worked. So we ended the 2022 season, which was a good year for me.”
“We are in the Libertadores next year, with a direct place, and we will continue to work hard to have an even better 2023.”
Vítor Pereira coached Corinthians in 64 games, achieving 26 wins, 21 draws, and 17 defeats, for a success rate of 51.6%.
With the Portuguese at the helm, Timão finished runners-up in the Brazilian Cup and qualified for the group stage of the 2023 Libertadores Cup.
