Dorival has ended his Corinthians stint with the second-worst points return at the Neo Química Arena among the club’s last 10 head coaches.

His farewell came in a 1-0 defeat to Internacional in Itaquera on Sunday. According to Meu Timao, he oversaw 28 home matches with 51.19% of points, winning 11, drawing 10 and losing seven.

Only Mano Menezes posted a lower recent figure, 33.3% across 10 games.

The best record in this sample belongs to Fernando Lázaro in 2023, 74.1% from nine matches, six wins, two draws and one defeat.

Corinthians’ next Arena fixture is due on 12 April at 18:30, a derby in the 11th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, and could feature a new coach. Fernando Diniz is the board’s priority and is already in talks.

Before then, Corinthians begin their Copa Libertadores campaign on Thursday, 9 April, away to Platense in Buenos Aires. Cuca managed only one Arena game in his spell, so is not included in the ranking.
