⚠️ Now it’s for real, Ramón Díaz takes charge at Internacional | OneFootball

Colorado has a new coach, following the dismissal of Roger Machado.

After initiating an agreement with Luis Zubeldía and seeing the negotiation lose momentum, Internacional changed focus and finalized the hiring of another Argentine: Ramón Díaz, until December 2026. The information comes from journalist André Hernan, from Espn Brasil.

At 66 years old, he - who shares management with his son Emiliano - is heading to his third club in Brazilian football after having managed Vasco (2023/2024) and Corinthians (2024/2025).

Ramón Díaz will work again with D'Alessandro, the current sporting director of Colorado. He coached the then midfielder D'Ale at River and later at San Lorenzo.

He was offered to Inter at the end of Roger Machado's tenure, but the management decided to bet on a turnaround under the command of the now former Colorado coach.

The last job of father and son was at Paraguayan club Olimpia. But it lasted only seven games between July and August this year.

Ramón Díaz becomes the eighth coach under the presidency of Alessandro Barcellos, which began in 2021.

Abel Braga, Diego Aguirre, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, Cacique Medina, Eduardo Coudet, Mano Menezes, and the aforementioned Roger were the others.

He will debut for Colorado next Saturday (27), in a match against Juventude at Jaconi for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Colorado is in 13th place with 27 points in 23 games.

Opening the Z-4 is Vitória, with 22 points in 24 matches.

History in Brazilian football

The first experience in the country would have been with Botafogo in 2020. But Ramón Díaz never took charge, as he had to leave to undergo surgery a day after being announced.

Emiliano Díaz took charge of the Glorioso for three games (with three defeats) until the management decided not to continue with the agreement.

He went through Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal before being Vasco's bet in July 2023.

He kept the Cruz-Maltino in the top tier of the Brasileirão, stayed for the following season, but ended up leaving early in BR-2024, in April.

He was hired by Corinthians in July. And secured Timão's spot in the preliminary stages of the Libertadores after a strong finish in the Brasileirão.

2025 started with frustration against Barcelona, resulting in elimination in the third preliminary phase of the Libertadores.

The sequence included winning the Paulistão against rival Palmeiras, ending a drought and preventing the rival from achieving a fourth consecutive title.

Ramón and his son were dismissed a month later after a poor start in the Brasileirão.
