The relationship between Tite and the Corinthians fans has gone through moments of anticipation in recent years. The coach was considered for a return to Parque São Jorge on two recent occasions. However, in 2024, he chose Flamengo's project and last year decided to take a strategic break in his career to focus on his physical and mental health. This hiatus ended with his arrival in Belo Horizonte, where he now leads the celestial project.

In the overall record, Tite has an advantage over the former club. In 15 official matches against Corinthians, according to OGOL data, the coach has 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. Despite the statistical superiority, the last memory is not positive for the commander: in the most recent encounter, in 2024, Corinthians defeated Tite's Flamengo 2-1 in an electrifying match for the Brazilian Championship.

For Cruzeiro, the match is crucial for their ambitions in the Brasileirão 2026 standings. Tite has yet to win over the celestial fans and needs good performances to gain peace of mind in his work.
