Corinthians assistant handed three-match ban by STJD | OneFootball

Dorival Jr's assistant coach, Lucas Silvestre, was suspended by the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice) for three games following complaints and expulsion at the Arena da Baixada in a 1-0 victory against Athletico in the second round of the Brasileirão 2026.

On the occasion, referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima recorded in the match report that at the 54th minute, the assistant coach allegedly directed a series of insults at the refereeing team and was therefore directly expelled, a version that is vehemently denied by Lucas Silvestre himself.

The punishment falls under articles 243-C and 258, related to unsportsmanlike conduct, which are present in the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice. It is worth noting that the case was judged in the first instance, meaning Corinthians can still appeal.

If the punishment is upheld, Lucas Silvestre would be absent from the bench against Flamengo, Fluminense, and Internacional, all in the Brasileirão.
