Legend and easy prey: São Paulo face Ceni, eye scary record | OneFootball

The greatest idol in São Paulo’s history, Rogério Ceni still struggles to beat his former club in his coaching career. This coming Sunday (5/3), he will have another chance to try to improve a record that is entirely favorable to Tricolor in meetings with the Mito.

Since 2019, when he was in charge of Fortaleza and facing São Paulo, Ceni got his first and only win only in May of last year when, already managing Bahia, he beat Tricolor 2-1 in the first half of the Brasileirão season.

In the other 12 matches, there were ten São Paulo wins over Rogério Ceni and two more draws, leaving the Morumbi club with an incredible 82% success rate against the coach.

There were five matches with Fortaleza, with three defeats and two draws for Rogério. His brief and troubled spell at Cruzeiro did not allow the idol to reunite with Tricolor.

With Flamengo, Ceni suffered. In the three meetings in 2020, two in the Copa do Brasil and one in the Brasileirão, there were three defeats.

Finally, at Bahia from 2023 onward, the record started the same way as before: terrible for the former goalkeeper. There were three São Paulo wins, until it culminated in the only defeat against the idol. Then, in the most recent meeting, another Tricolor victory, 2-0 in the 2025 Brasileirão.

Now, Ceni will have another reunion with São Paulo in the Brasileirão, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) on Sunday, at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium in Bragança Paulista, since Morumbi has been made available for concerts, in the coach’s 14th clash against his beloved club.
