Flying! Diniz enjoying best start by a Corinthians manager since 2017 | OneFootball

Enjoying a convincing start to his tenure at Corinthians, Fernando Diniz has one of the best win rates among Timão coaches in recent years.

In ten matches in charge of Alvinegro, the coach has recorded wins over Platense, Santa Fe, Barra, Vasco, Peñarol, and São Paulo, drew against Palmeiras, Vitória, and Santa Fe, and lost only to Mirassol.

The numbers represent a 70% win rate at the start of his spell and, according to the Estatísticas Corinthianas profile, already match António Oliveira’s mark in official matches, while also marking the best start by a Corinthians coach since Fabio Carille in 2017.

That year, when Carille won the Brasileirão and the Campeonato Paulista, he recorded eight wins, one draw, and suffered only one defeat in his first ten matches, finishing with an 83.33% win rate.

From then on, 13 coaches completed at least ten matches in charge of Corinthians, but few managed numbers close to Diniz’s. More recently, Dorival and Fernando Lázaro reached a 60% win rate, while Vitor Pereira appears with 53%. Vagner Mancini and Ramón Díaz appear with a 50% win rate.

Back in action

After securing a win over São Paulo last Sunday (10), Corinthians return to the field this Thursday to face Barra-SC in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
