Part 4/7:
Melo did not shy away from discussing past missteps, particularly regarding early recruitment and the initial management team he trusted. “I made errors in judgment about the people I assigned,” he admitted. However, he learned quickly from these mistakes, stating he would now be directly accountable for future decisions. “From that point, every decision would be mine,” he said, inspiring confidence in the direction he had taken the club.
This new approach allowed the team to focus on hiring talent that was not only skilled but committed to the ethos of Corinthians. Melo noted that the players brought in were engaged and dedicated, as seen in their performances throughout the season.
