Dorival Jr’s Contract Situation
Dorival Júnior who’s pretty well known in Brazilian football management, is getting lots of attention cause he might go to Corinthians. André Hernan tweeted that Dorival Jr only has to pay his CBF exit fee in bits and pieces which means teams like Corinthians don’t have to worry about paying big money upfront. Being one of the biggest teams in Brazil’s Serie A Corinthians thinks Dorival Jr could be just what they need right now while they’re going through changes. You can learn more about Corinthians here.
🚨Importante: Dorival Jr teve sua multa rescisória com a CBF parcelada e assumir um novo clube não impede ele de continuar recebendo. Portanto, Corinthians não tem que arcar com nada. É um acerto do treinador com a entidade e só. Zero impeditivos nesse sentido para o Corinthians https://t.co/97otJl8iY7
