Corinthians face Libertadores debut and derby in Brasileirão week | OneFootball

This week promises to be intense for Corinthians fans who follow the club’s different sports. Combining men’s and women’s professional football, youth categories, basketball, and futsal, Timão will have seven commitments through Sunday.

Even before the ball starts rolling, the main topic behind the scenes in men’s football is the search for a new head coach. After Dorival Júnior’s departure, made official last Sunday, the board is working to announce a replacement in the coming days. Fernando Diniz appears as the main target, while Sylvinho, who has previously coached the team, emerges as an alternative.
