The match between Corinthians and Flamengo this Sunday, at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, promises a special reunion. Current coach of Timão, Dorival will face one of his former teams amid ups and downs at Parque São Jorge.

Experienced, Dorival had three stints at the helm of Flamengo. The first between 2012 and 2013, the second in 2018, and the last in 2022. In total, he managed 92 games for the Rubro-Negro, with 48 wins, 23 draws, and 21 losses – a 60% success rate.
