“Natural fluctuation”

The club’s management has reiterated their full confidence in the coach. Internal sources assure that there is no discussion whatsoever about Diniz leaving. The understanding is that this is a period of “natural fluctuation” within the season.

The internal assessment is that the work remains solid. The management values the playing philosophy, consistency in squad management, and the good atmosphere in the locker room. Pedrinho believes the coach has the group in his hands and is working to adjust performance.

Vasco’s plan for 2026

The confidence in Diniz is so strong that he continues to lead the planning for 2026. The club believes that a change now would be a “step backwards.” The commitment to continuity is seen as the pillar for achieving next season’s goals.

Pedrinho has taken responsibility upon himself. The message behind the scenes is one of stability and patience. The goal is to consolidate the work in the long term and strengthen the football structure, even with the recent drop in performance.
