On March 4th in Beijing, the legendary coach Pereira, the leader of the Barclays Premier League powerhouse Corinthians, posted a photo of a training session full of memories on social media platforms. In the photo, the former leaders of the Chinese Super League stage, now stand in the same trench Paulinho and Augusto, and "Evergrande's" and "Guoan's" flags shine together.
Looking back at Pereira's career, he assisted Andre Villas-Boas in 2011 and helped Porto achieve the treble. Since then, Pereira has led the team to two consecutive Portuguese Premier League titles. Since then, he has traveled throughout Saudi Arabia, Greece, Turkey and Germany, coaching a number of clubs such as Jeddah National, Olympiacos, Fenerbahce, Munich 1860, etc. From 2017 to 2020, Pereira coached the Chinese Super League's Shanghai Harbour, not only leading the team to win the 2018 Super League Championship, but also winning the glory of the 2019 Super Cup.
Corinthians' lineup has been joined by top Chinese Super League (CSL) foreigners Ruo, Gil, Guedes, Augusto and Paulinho, and the arrival of former Shanghai Seaports head coach Pereira, who is a former Chinese Super League (CSL) veteran, who occupies half of the team's roster.
It is reported that Pereira's coaching team at Corinthians will earn an annual salary of up to 5 million euros, of which he will personally receive 3.6 million euros. Although this figure is only a quarter of his annual salary during his time at Shanghai Seaport, it has set a record for the highest salary in Corinthians' team history.
