The 6-0 thrashing suffered against Fluminense led by Luís Zubeldía, last Thursday, marked a bitter end to São Paulo’s journey against former coaches in this season’s Brasileirão. Throughout the championship, Tricolor faced seven coaches who had previously managed the team and achieved a balanced record in these encounters.
In this edition of the Brasileirão, São Paulo faced Dorival Júnior (Corinthians), Rogério Ceni (Bahia), Zubeldía (Fluminense), Thiago Carpini (Juventude), Mancini (Red Bull Bragantino), Cuca (Atlético-MG), and Fernando Diniz (Vasco).
In total, São Paulo played 11 matches against former coaches, with five wins, one draw, and five losses, resulting in a 48.5% success rate.
Besides Zubeldía, the only other coach Tricolor failed to overcome was Vágner Mancini. In their only encounter in this Brasileirão, São Paulo was defeated by Red Bull Bragantino, 1-0, at Morumbis.
Among all of them, the coach with the best record during his time at Tricolor was Dorival Júnior, who, despite a 54.3% success rate at the club, won the unprecedented Copa do Brasil trophy in 2023.
