Ruan Oliveira loses space with Mano Menezes and has an indefinite future at Corinthians

Midfielder Ruan Oliveira has lost space at Corinthians under coach Mano Menezes and has no clear future for next season. The 23-year-old’s loan deal is only valid until the end of this year.




Ruan, who enjoyed prestige with Vanderlei Luxemburgo, played his last match as a starter in the 1-1 draw against América-MG on 22 October. Since then, the athlete has appeared on the pitch three times, has not left the bench in four matches and was not even involved in the 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG and the 5-1 defeat against Bahia.

The report of Gazzetta dello Sport It has been ascertained that the club has not yet made any contact with the midfielder’s staff to acquire him on a permanent basis. At this moment the situation is not defined.

The tendency is for decisions to be made after meetings between Mano Menezes and Augusto Melo, president of the club for the two-year period 2024-2026. Timão is also looking for a football manager, who will help in the reformulation of the squad in view of the programming for 2024.

Ruan Oliveira belongs to Metropolitano-SC and has a notable injury history, despite his young age. The athlete was out of action for almost three years due to serious knee injuries.

Given that Corinthians’ situation in the Brazilian championship is already defined, Mano and his coaching staff could choose to preserve some starters against Coritiba next Wednesday. Therefore, there is a possibility that Ruan will be used again, both at the beginning and at the beginning of the fight.
