Corinthians decide manager’s future before Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Dorival Júnior Remains Under Pressure from Corinthians Management

The Flamengo faces Corinthians this Sunday (22), away from home, in the Brazilian Championship. Thus, in case of a defeat to the red-black team, the São Paulo team does not intend to dismiss the pressured Dorival Júnior.

According to information from the “UOL” portal, Corinthians understands that a defeat to Flamengo is ‘normal’ due to the quality of the red-black team. Therefore, even with a setback at Neo Química Arena, the São Paulo management is unlikely to fire Dorival Júnior.

Even so, the current scenario increases the demand for victories. The pressure impacts the Joaquim Grava Training Center. Dorival Júnior is aware of the ongoing scrutiny and, therefore, has avoided publicly yielding to the demands. The coaching staff believes the work has value.

Thus, the Corinthians coach feels increasingly less supported by the directors. The changes in the relationship with the management also bother him, and Dorival Júnior has already made this clear. Despite the pressure, the players remain aligned with the coach's proposal.

WHAT IS DORIVAL JÚNIOR'S SITUATION?

Despite recent titles in the Copa do Brasil and the Supercopa do Brasil, the latter against Flamengo, Corinthians remains under pressure. This is because the club fell in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista and is only in ninth place in the Brasileirão.
