Dorival leaves Corinthians with second worst Arena record | OneFootball

Head coach Dorival Júnior ended his spell at Corinthians with less-than-encouraging numbers at Neo Química Arena. Among the team’s last ten managers, he posted the second-worst record at the stadium. His farewell came with a setback: a 1-0 loss to Internacional in Itaquera last Sunday (5).

During his time at home, Dorival led the team in 28 matches, earning 51.19% of the possible points. In that span, the record was 11 wins, ten draws, and seven losses. The only coach with a worse return in this recent stretch is Mano Menezes, who was in charge of the club between 2023 and 2024. In ten matches, he posted a 33.3% return, with two wins, four draws, and two losses.

At the opposite end is Fernando Lázaro, who holds the best mark in the period. Already confirmed as head coach in 2023, he reached a 74.1% return in nine matches, with six wins, two draws, and just one loss.

For the next match at the Arena, Corinthians is expected to already have a new head coach. Fernando Diniz has emerged as the board’s main target and is in talks with the club. The match will be a Derby, scheduled for the 12th at 6:30 p.m., valid for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Before that, however, the black-and-white team turns its attention to its Copa Libertadores debut. On Thursday the 9th, the team travels to Buenos Aires to face Platense at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López at 9 p.m. (Brasília time).
