Corinthians board back Fernando Diniz to stay in charge | OneFootball

Fernando Diniz remains in charge at Corinthians, with football executive Marcelo Paz voicing confidence in the continuity of the coach's work after the Copa Libertadores exit. According to Meu Timao, the board support the project moving forward.

Paz reviewed Diniz's tenure since arriving when the side were in 16th place. He noted mixed form in the Campeonato Brasileiro and a decent Libertadores run that ended on Wednesday against Estudiantes of Argentina in the quarter-finals.

He said president Osmar Stabile visited the training ground on Thursday, spoke to the group and reinforced trust in the coaching staff. Paz added that the moment calls for unity and focus on recovery in the league.

He relayed that expectations had been to beat Cruzeiro and push higher, but the team did not win, then suffered successive defeats and slipped down the table. The emphasis, he said, is to back the work and return to winning in the Brasileiro.

His position had been questioned by the Fiel following that exit.

Corinthians face Fluminense at Neo Química Arena on Sunday at 16:00 in the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. It will be their final match before the Data Fifa.
