Corinthians eye Tite for 2026, Copa do Brasil key for Dorival | OneFootball

The Corinthians does not rule out the possibility of hiring Tite for 2026. The club's board, presided over by Osmar Stabile, is waiting for the conclusion of the current season to make a decision.

Tite is available in the market and, last Saturday, announced the resumption of his career. He paused his professional journey for about seven months to take care of his mental health.

In a recent interview, Osmar Stabile even guaranteed the continuation of coach Dorival Júnior for next year. However, as reported by Gazeta Esportiva, the continuation of his work will still be evaluated by the Corinthians board.

Turning Point

With Tite's name on the radar, the Copa do Brasil has become a sort of ‘turning point’ for Dorival Júnior. The coach might be dismissed depending on what happens in the final stretch of the tournament. His contract with Timão is valid until the end of 2026.

The semifinal of the competition, against Cruzeiro, will be played on December 10 and 14. Before that, Corinthians will play the last three rounds of the Brasileirão. The team is in tenth place on the table, with 45 points, ten points away from the G7.
