The current moment for Vasco under the command of Fernando Diniz is worrying. In 23 matches, the coach has recorded 6 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses, with a success rate of 38%. This number alone already raises a red flag, but it becomes even more significant when compared to the recent history of Vasco’s previous coaches.
According to research, among the coaches who have passed through São Januário since 2022, only Álvaro Pacheco had a worse performance, with a success rate of just 8% in his very brief and disastrous stint.
Check out the ranking of the worst recent success rates:
The data reveals an important contrast: even coaches who were heavily criticized by the fans, such as Barbieri and Maurício Souza, achieved higher rates than Diniz. Even interim coaches, like Rafael Paiva and William Batista, managed to make better use of their opportunities in charge.
On the other hand, names like Jorginho and Zé Ricardo, who also had their tenures questioned at different times, posted considerably better win percentages than the current coach.
The pressure on Diniz is mounting because Vasco is not only accumulating poor results, but also showing inconsistent performances on the field. The team has only won when scoring three goals or more, highlighting its reliance on atypical performances to earn points.
With the Brazilian Championship underway and fans demanding an immediate reaction, Fernando Diniz needs to find quick solutions to reverse the trend. Otherwise, he risks going down in recent history as one of the club’s worst-performing coaches in decades.
