Corinthians today confirmed that they have departed company with Argentinian coach Daniel Passarella.
The move follows Corinthians 5-1 defeat to São Paulo at the weekend and an awful start to the Brazilian championship.
As yet no replacement has been announced but given Corinthians big spending power you can be sure that several big names will be suggested.
Assistant trainer Marcio Bittencourt will take charge until a replacement is confirmed.
The Brazilian media is reporting a alleged meeting between Corinthians MSI and Emerson Leão earlier in the week. Leão recently departed São Paulo for Vissel Kobe in Japan.
