Dorival with Corinthians

Dorival Júnior's work at Corinthians, so far, is marked by ups and downs. The team managed to string together three consecutive victories in recent matches but had its rise halted and is now coming off a streak of two defeats in the Brasileirão.

Simultaneously, Corinthians is preparing to compete in the decisive phase of the Copa do Brasil. The team from Parque São Jorge is in the semifinals, which will be played against Cruzeiro. The matches are scheduled for December 10 and 14.
