The 2023 season was the 114th season in the history of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. The season covered the period from January 2023 to December 2023. The pre-season began earlier than usual in December 14, 2022, as the previous season was shorter due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place at the end of the year.

The club also held elections in November to determine the new president and deliberative council for the 2024–2026 term.[1]

Presidential election[edit]

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]

Managerial changes[edit]

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]

On November 20, head of performance analysis Fernando Lázaro was announced as the club's new manager. He was scheduled to serve as Brazil's opponents scout in the 2022 FIFA World Cup before taking the job.[9] On April 20, 2023, Lázaro was removed from the position after a series of poor results and performances. 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]

On May 1, Vanderlei Luxemburgo was announced as the new manager with a contract until the end of the season. It was his third spell at the club, with the last one taking place nearly 22 years ago.[15] On September 27, Luxemburgo was fired after a recurring poor performances, most recently a 1–1 home draw against Fortaleza at the 2023 Copa Sudamericana semi-finals the day before.[16]

The day after, Mano Menezes was announced as Corinthians' new manager with a contract until the end of the 2025 season. It will also be his third spell at the club, after being manager through 2008-2010 and 2014.[17]
