São Paulo boss Roger faces Inter again for first time since exit | OneFootball

São Paulo visit Internacional this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Beira-Rio for the 9th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match marks Roger Machado's reunion with Colorado, the team he coached from July 2024 to September 2025.

Record against Inter

As a coach, Roger has managed 21 matches against Inter, with eight wins, four draws, and nine losses. Colorado is the team the coach has faced most in his career.

Well known in the South

The coach, now in charge of Tricolor, has built up important achievements in Rio Grande do Sul. He is the only coach of the decade to win the state championship with both Inter and Grêmio, in addition to leading Juventude to the 2024 final, something that has happened only seven times in the club's history. At Colorado, Roger also recorded two runs of 16 games unbeaten, a mark that represents Inter's longest streak in the Brasileirão in 45 years.

The 2019 and 2020 Bahia State Championship titles with Bahia, and the 2017 Minas Gerais State Championship with Atlético-MG, complete the résumé of the 51-year-old coach.

At São Paulo since early March, Roger is looking to get back to the positive run from his first two matches at the club. Tricolor sit in third place with 16 points, level on points with Athletico (second) and Fluminense (4th), and could close the gap on leaders Palmeiras, who have 19 points.
