Corinthians title adds to Dorival’s strong record in knockout matches | OneFootball

Dorival Júnior won the Supercopa do Brasil title with Corinthians last Sunday, against Flamengo, in Brasília, and improved his good numbers in knockout matches.

With the triumph over the Rubro-Negro, Dorival achieved a success rate of 91.7% in the last knockout duels he participated in. He came out on top in 22 of the last 24 confrontations. With Corinthians, he was victorious in all six encounters.

The only recent setbacks were with the Brazilian National Team and São Paulo. With the Amarelinha, the coach fell to Uruguay in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa América. As for the Tricolor, he was eliminated by LDU in the quarterfinals of the previous year's Sudamericana.

Dorival was hired by Corinthians in April 2025 and, amidst the chaos, has already lifted two trophies: last year's Copa do Brasil and this year's Supercopa do Brasil. He has already led Timão in 50 games, with 21 wins, 15 draws, and 14 losses.
