The 1-0 victory over Fluminense last Saturday at Maracanã marked the 26th time that coach Dorival Júnior has led Corinthians from the sidelines this season. With this, the coach equaled the number of games that Ramón Díaz managed the team in 2025.
Over these 26 matches, Dorival achieved 12 wins, eight draws, and six losses – a 56.4% success rate. Under his command, the team scored 28 goals and conceded 20.
However, the numbers are still below Ramón’s. Led by the Argentine, just this year, Timão won 14 times, drew seven, and lost five – a 65.3% success rate. During this period, they found the net 37 times and conceded 28 goals.
It’s important to note that 16 of the 26 games managed by Ramón were in the Paulistão, a tournament that features ‘less powerful’ opponents compared to the Brazilian Championship, the Copa Sudamericana, and the Copa do Brasil.

Dorival Júnior faced a series of setbacks but managed to find solutions and got Corinthians back on track. The team is mid-table in the Brasileirão, but is far from the relegation zone and is trying to fight for a spot in next year’s Libertadores. They are now three games unbeaten in the tournament.
In addition, the coach has put the team in contention for the Copa do Brasil title. Timão eliminated Novorizontino, Palmeiras, and Athletico-PR in a ‘perfect’ campaign, with a 100% success rate and without conceding a single goal. Their opponent in the semifinals will be Cruzeiro.
