Corinthians title-winning coach sacked by Internacional, his story | OneFootball

Internacional decided to dismiss coach Ramón Díaz, who had a good stint at Corinthians, on the afternoon of this Saturday (29), hours after the 5-1 defeat to Vasco at São Januário, in a match valid for the 36th round of the Brasileirão. The loss, combined with Vitória's 2-0 win over Mirassol, placed the team from Rio Grande do Sul in 17th position with 41 points.

The Argentine was announced at Internacional on September 24 and saw his work interrupted – after just over two months – for not being able to lift Colorado from the bottom positions of the national tournament. In total, there were 13 games, with three wins, three draws, and five losses, with a 35.90% success rate. His contract was valid until December 2026.

Internacional was the second club Ramón Díaz managed after being dismissed from Corinthians in mid-April. On July 17, 2025, he was announced as the coach of Olímpia, Paraguay, and just over a month later, on August 24, he resigned from the Paraguayan team after seven games, accumulating two wins, two draws, and three losses – a 38.09% success rate.

At Corinthians, Ramón Díaz was hired in mid-July 2024, at a time when the club was deep in the relegation zone to Série B. After the transfer window opened, the Alvinegro signed players (such as Hugo Souza, André Ramalho, Charles, José Martínez, Alex Santana, André Carrillo, Talles Magno, and Memphis Depay) who helped the team escape the Z4 and achieve a streak of nine consecutive victories, securing a spot in the Pre-Libertadores and finishing the tournament in seventh place with 56 points.

Additionally, the Alvinegro reached the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and the Conmebol Sudamericana, being eliminated by Flamengo and Racing, respectively, who would go on to win the mentioned tournaments. As a result, Corinthians started 2025 with high expectations and won the Campeonato Paulista, against Palmeiras, in Itaquera. In the state championship, the Corinthians team lost only one game.

It was the end of a six-year title drought, the longest dry spell since 1954 to 1977. After the Paulista title, the Alvinegro experienced a drop in performance, and after a poor start in the Sudamericana and one victory in the first four rounds of the Brasileirão, there was a change in the technical command. On April 28, Dorival Júnior was announced as his replacement.

Before the state finals, Corinthians also suffered a painful elimination in the Pre-Libertadores, against Barcelona-EQU, but the coach was kept in the position due to the good campaign in the Paulistão. In charge of the Parque São Jorge club, there were 58 games, with 30 wins, 16 draws, and 12 losses – 91 goals scored and 60 conceded.
