After the match, head coach Dorival Júnior ended up being dismissed from his role at Corinthians. In total, there were 26 wins, 19 draws, and 21 losses — just under a 50% success rate. In addition, he won two titles: the Copa do Brasil (2025) and the Supercopa do Brasil (2026), against Vasco da Gama and Flamengo, respectively.

Corinthians, now searching for a new head coach, will return to the field next Thursday (9) at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), for their opening match in the group stage of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores. The club from Parque São Jorge will travel to Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López to face Argentina’s Platense, beginning its campaign for a second title in the international tournament.
