❌ Roger Machado no longer Internacional manager 📹 | OneFootball

The defeat of Inter in Gre-Nal 448 sealed the fate of Roger Machado.

The 50-year-old coach was dismissed from Internacional after Sunday’s (21st) derby.

The departure was officially announced by Alessandro Barcellos, the club president, in a statement:

Barcellos’ administration (which began in 2021) is now moving on to its eighth coach.

Abel Braga, Diego Aguirre, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, Cacique Medina, Eduardo Coudet, and Mano Menezes all managed Inter before Roger.

Once a Nemesis, Took the Title and Left on a Low Note

Roger was officially appointed on July 18 of last year, after his then-team Juventude had knocked Inter out of the Gauchão and the Copa do Brasil.

Inter ended 2024 on a high after a great run in the Brasileirão—which secured them a spot in the Libertadores.

And the start of this season saw the long-awaited end of their drought in the Campeonato Gaúcho, with a title over Grêmio, who were seeking an unprecedented eighth consecutive win.

The campaign in the Brasileirão never really excited. Colorado is currently 13th, with 27 points from 23 games.

Previously, Inter had been eliminated in the round of 16 of both the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores by Fluminense and Flamengo, respectively.

In 2025 under Roger, there were 21 wins (nine of them in the Gauchão), 12 draws, and 14 losses in 47 matches.

There were only two victories in the last 12 games across all competitions.

The overall record (since last year) is 74 matches, with 34 wins, 20 draws, and 20 losses. A success rate of 54.9%.

Was He in the Top 3?

Roger was the fourth longest-serving coach in charge of a Série A team.

This position now goes to Filipe Luís, who has managed Flamengo since 09/30/2024.

Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras - 10/30/2020), Rogério Ceni (Bahia - 09/09/2023), and Léo Condé (Ceará - 06/30/2024) are the top three.
