Fluminense win spares Zubeldía from unwanted record, check it out | OneFootball

With the victory of Fluminense last Tuesday, coach Luís Zubeldía won away from home again after almost a year. The Argentine coach hadn't triumphed as a visitor since November 5, 2024, when he was still managing São Paulo and defeated Bahia 3-0 at Fonte Nova.

Since then, during his stints with São Paulo and Fluminense, Zubeldía has been in charge of 15 away matches. Before the victory over Grêmio, the Argentine had a negative record of seven draws and seven losses, according to Sofascore data.

The pressure for results away from home was one of the factors that led to his departure from São Paulo. Zubeldía resigned in June when the team was in 14th place in the Brasileirão.

Improvement at Fluminense

Despite the turbulent exit at São Paulo, Zubeldía has improved Fluminense's performance and has become one of the main figures responsible for the tricolor's good phase. In 15 games at the helm of the Rio de Janeiro club, he has nine victories, three draws, and three losses.

Fluminense is experiencing a great moment in the final stretch of the Brasileirão. The team is undefeated in six games, has already secured a spot in the 2026 Libertadores, and now seeks to confirm direct entry into the group stage.

Current phase of Fluminense

With the victory over Grêmio, Fluminense took the fifth position, with 61 points, but can still be overtaken by Botafogo, who face Cruzeiro this Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Mineirão.
