Corinthians paid tribute to coach Dorival Júnior on social media right after the 1-0 victory over Atlético Mineiro last Saturday, the 18th, at the Neo Química Arena during the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. In the match, the Corinthians coach reached a historic milestone in his career: 1000 games on the sidelines.
As a form of recognition for this achievement, the club surprised the coach in the locker room with a personalized jersey with the number “1000” and a commemorative plaque offered by the team and the board. The items were presented by president Osmar Stabile and football executive Fabinho Soldado.

In total, Dorival has been with 21 clubs plus the Brazilian National Team, winning 13 titles in total: Campeonato Catarinense (2004), Campeonato Pernambucano (2006), Campeonato Paranaense (2008 and 2020), Série B of the Brazilian Championship (2009), Campeonato Paulista (2010 and 2016), Copa do Brasil (2010, 2022, and 2023), Recopa Sul-Americana (2011), Campeonato Gaúcho (2012), and Copa Libertadores (2022).
At Corinthians, the coach arrived in April this year to replace Ramón Díaz and is still seeking his first trophy – he is in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. So far, Dorival has led Timão in 30 matches, achieving 13 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses, with a success rate of 53%. Under his leadership, the team scored 31 goals and conceded 24.
