Tamires backs Emily Lima after Corinthians’ 6-2 win eases pressure | OneFootball

Corinthians brushed aside Taubaté 6-2 at Fazendinha on Wednesday, a result that eased scrutiny on head coach Emily Lima. After scoring in the Paulista Feminino finale, left-back Tamires urged the squad to keep respecting the staff and its methods.

Lima, appointed in February 2026 to replace Lucas Piccinato, has 26 matches, 17 wins, seven defeats and two draws, a 68 percent return, with 69 scored and 27 conceded. According to Meu Timao, she is under internal pressure and has lost the confidence of sections of the squad and board, who are discussing her future.

Tamires said players must believe in the plan delivered daily, focus on their own standards and follow what Lima proposes, adding that outside noise is not for the group to debate.

Supporters have questioned performances and game management, particularly in marquee fixtures. The situation worsened when Corinthians surrendered top spot in the Brasileiro on the final matchday of the first phase and failed to seal a direct Paulistão semi-final berth.

For now, context is keeping Lima in post, with few viable options available and the Brasileiro Feminino knockout rounds imminent. Even so, a change in the dugout is being weighed.

The Taubaté win left Corinthians third in the Estadual first phase on 13 points and set up a November play-in against Red Bull Bragantino over two legs. Next up is Cruzeiro away on Monday 31 August at 19:15, the first leg of the Brasileiro Feminino quarter-finals at Arena Independência.
