As verified, some factors may be fundamental for the candidacy, such as the success of Corinthians women’s football since the reactivation of the category, in 2016, and the lack of a unanimous name from the current board to seek the presidency.
For someone to be a candidate for the presidency of the club, it is necessary that the member has at least two terms in the Deliberative Council. Cris was in charge between 2006 and 2017, before taking over the women’s board.
Officially, only Augusto Melo has launched himself as a candidate to head Corinthians – the formal launch will be on March 11th. In addition to him, former player Ronaldo Giovanelli emerged as a possible name and even announced his candidacy on his social networks, but deleted the publication. Finally, former president and current director Roberto de Andrade nominated André Luiz de Oliveira, better known as “André Negão”, for the position. Regardless of the name, whoever becomes president of Corinthians will be responsible for the position for the three-year period from 2024 to 2026.
