Recent results pile pressure on Dorival Júnior at Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians coach Dorival Júnior has come under internal pressure following a series of negative results against Novorizontino and Coritiba, especially due to the team's poor performance in these games. The information was initially published by the portal UOL and confirmed by the report from Timão Central.

Criticism of the coach's work is not unanimous within Corinthians' football department. Executive Marcelo Paz is one of the main defenders of Dorival's continued leadership of the team. On the other hand, political allies and advisors close to President Osmar Stabile have expressed concern about the team's recent performance, as well as discomfort with statements made by the coach in interviews after the recent matches.

Internally, there is an understanding that recent achievements still give Dorival Jr. some leeway to continue leading Timão, which keeps the coach with "credits" within the club. However, according to sources close to President Osmar Stabile, a potential change in the technical command is not ruled out if the team continues to perform below expectations.

Possible replacements have been mentioned in informal conversations, but officially, no name is being targeted at the moment, and there are no ongoing negotiations.

Under the leadership of Dorival Júnior and his technical team, Corinthians has played 61 games, with 26 wins, 16 draws, and 19 losses, achieving 51.4% of the points contested. During this period, the coach also won two titles with the club: the 2025 Copa do Brasil and the Supercopa do Brasil, the latter in the current season, in a decision against Flamengo at the Mané Garrincha Stadium.
