Fernando Diniz was announced by Corinthians on Monday night (6), with a contract running until December 2026. He arrives at Parque São Jorge to replace Dorival Jr, who left the position last weekend after a 1-0 loss to Internacional at Neo Química Arena in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship.

It is worth noting that Alvinegro have now gone nine matches without a win this season, with five draws and four defeats — the team’s worst run since 2007, the year they were relegated to Série B, when they went ten games without winning. Corinthians’ last victory came on February 19, against Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada, in the second round of the Brazilian Championship.

In his most recent job at Vasco da Gama, which lasted until February 2025, Fernando Diniz, in addition to finishing as runner-up in the Copa do Brasil — losing precisely to Corinthians in the final — recorded 17 wins, 16 draws and 23 losses, a 40% success rate. The coach brought the following professionals to Alvinegro to make up his coaching staff: Léo Porto (assistant), Wagner Berteli (fitness coach), Lucas Verne (analyst) and Luís Fernando de Barros (physiologist).
