Stabile confirms Soldado will stay, discusses Arena naming rights talks | OneFootball

Osmar Stabile has been elected the new president of Corinthians and gave a press conference to explain situations experienced by the club, such as the possible change of the naming rights of the Neo Química Arena, concession of the stadium parking and rumors of changes in the football department.

"The value (of the termination fee with Hypera Pharma) drops in September, we are talking. There are three companies interested. I believe that one more company should arrive. We are working to bring a much higher value than this. The value is low. Was it good back then? It was. Press, fans, members and counselors praised it. But it's over. The value is low. We will work," Stabile began about the stadium rights.

As mentioned, another topic discussed was the parking concession, which had its contract with the former company terminated. He explained the choice for the new agreement and awaits compliance approval to announce the winner.

"We had four companies interested. Several other clubs did the same thing. We did it by sealed envelope. It was opened to find out which company won. The company was taken to compliance. We have two compliances, the club's and the Arena's. We did the club's compliance, it passed, it was put in an envelope and went to the Arena's compliance. If approved, we will show you what happened in the parking lot. There is a winning company, the name cannot be made public until it passes through compliance," he commented.

Before the election, the candidates talked about how to run the football department, while Osmar Stabile did not comment. Now elected, he stated that Fabinho Soldado will remain as executive, without having a director who is from within the club to assist.

"Football will not have a football director (statutory) at this first moment. Fabinho Soldado continues. He is showing within what I saw, what I followed, what I analyzed a good job within what I understand of management. We have already made some adjustments," said the president.

"He is always ready to meet those necessary adjustments. So I believe that the way he is buying into the new philosophy, the work philosophy which is about signings, as I said, within Corinthians' possibility, he understood perfectly and we will continue this work," he added.

Fabinho Soldado's work has been limited by the transfer ban that Corinthians suffered after notification from Santos Laguna at FIFA. Therefore, the club has only announced one reinforcement in the transfer window, but has two players in sight while looking to renegotiate the debt.
