Corinthians coach seeks to improve career record against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Corinthians take the field this Sunday (12) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) to face Palmeiras at Neo Química Arena in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match also marks another chapter in Fernando Diniz’s history against the green-and-white rival throughout his coaching career.

From his first jobs in São Paulo state football to his more recent spells with top-flight Brazilian clubs, Diniz has already faced Palmeiras in different contexts and with several teams. Overall, the meetings show a balanced record, with three wins, five draws, and six losses over the years.

The most recent clash came in the 2025 Brasileirão, when Vasco, then coached by Diniz, were beaten 3-0. Before that, in 2024, while in charge of Cruzeiro, the coach also ended up on the losing side, this time 2-1.

In 2023, with Fluminense, Diniz had a balanced record against Palmeiras: he won one match 2-1, lost another 1-0, and drew one game. The year before, in 2022, there were two 1-1 draws, also in the Brazilian Championship.

In 2021, in charge of Santos, he suffered a 3-2 defeat, while in 2020, leading São Paulo, he earned a 2-0 away win and a scoreless draw in another Paulista Championship clash.

Diniz’s first meetings against Palmeiras date back to his time with clubs from the São Paulo countryside. With Audax, in 2014 and 2015, he collected draws and defeats, but also secured a 2-1 win in 2016. Then, in 2017, he drew again, this time 2-2. In 2011, while managing Paulista de Jundiaí, he was beaten 3-1.

Now in charge of Corinthians, Fernando Diniz will have another opportunity to face Palmeiras, this time in a direct derby, looking to improve his personal record against the rival and add important points in the national competition.
