It could be worse: Internacional sack boss before São Paulo clash | OneFootball

Internacional announced late this Saturday afternoon the dismissal of their Argentine coach Ramon Díaz, along with his entire coaching staff who accompanied him at the club from Rio Grande do Sul, the next opponent of São Paulo in the Brasileirão.

“Sport Club Internacional announces the termination of the contractual relationship with coach Ramon Díaz. Leaving the Club along with him are assistant Emiliano Díaz, assistants Osmar Ferreyra and Bruno Urribarri, fitness coach Diego Pereira, and performance analyst Juan Romanazzi.

The Club thanks the professionals for their services and wishes them success in the next steps of their careers,” Inter stated in an official note.

For now, the team will be led by permanent assistant coach Pablo Fernandez, who conducted the team’s training this Saturday at CT Parque Gigante.

Ramon Díaz could not withstand the latest thrashing suffered by Inter, a 5-1 defeat to Vasco in the 36th round, which caused the team to drop into the relegation zone of the Brasileirão. Now, Colorado is 17th in the standings, with the same 41 points as Santos, who are 16th and the first team above the drop zone.

With an initial contract running until the end of the 2026 season, the experienced coach lasted only two months in the role. There were just 13 matches, with three wins, five draws, and five losses, with a poor performance rate of 35.90%.

While the Brasileirão is practically meaningless for São Paulo, for their next opponent on Wednesday (12/3), the match has become decisive. Tricolor will host Internacional at Vila Belmiro, at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 37th and penultimate round.
