On 25 November, the election to decide Corinthians' new president for the 2024–2026 term was held featuring only associates of the social club, meaning that less than 4,500 people would decide the winner. AugustO Melo defeated André Negão with 2771 votes (66,2 percent of the total). Negão was part of Renovação e Transparência, the same group that has been in charge of the club since 2007 and won six elections in a row. Melo is expected to assume office on 2 January 2024.[3][4]
On November 13, 2022, Corinthians' president Duílio Monteiro Alves announced that Vítor Pereira would not renew his contract to continue as the club's manager for the 2023 season.[5] Pereira supposedly revealed that he had family issues that required his return to Portugal.[6] He claimed in a social media post that his reasons to leave were exclusively health issues related to his mother in law.[7] However a month later, he was announced as the new head coach of Flamengo for the 2023 season.[8]

Corinthians opted to demote him to the club's staff as a permanent assistant coach and fired his assistant's Thiago Larghi and Luciano Dias.[10]
A few hours after removing Lázaro, Corinthians announced Cuca as the new manager until the end of the season.[11] The signing was met with immense backlash by the club's supporters due to Cuca's conviction in 1989 by a Swiss court for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in a hotel room in Bern, Switzerland in 1987. He was convicted to 15 months imprisonment for "engaging in sexual act with a minor", but the sentence was not served and expired in 2004.[12] He resigned exactly a week later, right after Corinthians' win and qualification in the third round of Copa do Brasil, citing personal reasons related to the protests to his signing.[13] On April 28, The club decided to name current U-20 coach and former club player (2012 Copa Libertadores and 2012 FIFA Club World Cup winner) Danilo as the caretaker for their next match against rivals Palmeiras instead of Lázaro.[14]
