Brasileirão 2025 has already seen 2️⃣1️⃣ managerial changes, check them all | OneFootball

The 2025 Brazilian Championship has already recorded 21 managerial changes in 30 rounds, with 14 out of the 20 clubs in Série A having changed their coach at least once.

The most recent occurred this Tuesday (28), with Sport firing Daniel Paulista. 

Only Flamengo, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Bahia, Mirassol, and Ceará* have kept the same coach since the start of the competition.

This scenario reflects the well-known pattern in Brazilian football of rapid changes, even in clubs with structured projects.

Below, you can check the summary of all dismissals in BR 25.

Daniel Paulista  – Sport

Left Leão by mutual agreement. He had already made it clear that the board should think about 2026 due to the delicate situation in the Brasileirão. He managed 19 games, with two wins, nine draws (one in the Lampions), and eight losses. Success rate of 26.3%.

Fernando Seabra – Red Bull Bragantino

Dismissed after a home defeat to Vasco. With only three wins in the last 20 games, he left the team in 12th place, five points above the relegation zone. Success rate of 40.48% in 56 games.

Renato Gaúcho – Fluminense. Resigned after elimination in the quarterfinals of the Sudamericana to Lanús. Left the team in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and in 8th place in the Brasileirão. Was replaced by Luis Zubeldía.
