Legend and favourite prey: São Paulo face Ceni again | OneFootball

The greatest idol in São Paulo’s history, Rogério Ceni still struggles to beat his former club in his coaching career. This coming Sunday (3/5), he will have another chance to try to improve a record that is entirely favorable to Tricolor in meetings with the Mito.

Since 2019, when he was in charge of Fortaleza and faced São Paulo, Ceni managed his first and only victory only in May of last year when, already coaching Bahia, he beat Tricolor 2-1 in the first half of the Brasileirão season.

In the other 12 matches, there were ten São Paulo wins over Rogério Ceni and two more draws, which gives the Morumbi club an incredible 82% success rate against the coach.

There were five matches with Fortaleza, with three defeats and two draws for Rogério. His brief and troubled spell at Cruzeiro did not allow the idol to reunite with Tricolor.

At Flamengo, Ceni suffered. In the three meetings in 2020, two in the Copa do Brasil and one in the Brasileirão, there were three defeats.

Finally, at Bahia from 2023 onward, the record began as before: terrible for the former goalkeeper. There were three São Paulo wins, until it culminated in the only defeat against the idol. Then, in the most recent meeting, another Tricolor victory, 2-0 in the 2025 Brasileirão.

Now, Ceni will have another reunion with São Paulo in the Brasileirão, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) on Sunday, at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium in Bragança Paulista, since Morumbi is being used for concerts, in the coach’s 14th clash against his club of the heart.
