Dorival Júnior has worst record among Corinthians bosses this decade | OneFootball

Corinthians is going through a period of inconsistency under Dorival Júnior, but the coach recently reached an important milestone in charge of the team. Since taking over the club in April 2025, he has joined the group of coaches who have reached at least 60 matches with Timão this decade (since 2021), although he has the lowest win percentage among the names analyzed.

In total, he has managed the black-and-white team in 64 matches, with 26 wins, 19 draws, and 19 losses, which represents a 50.5% success rate. During this period, the team scored 70 goals and conceded 57. It is worth noting that, of those matches, 61 had Dorival on the touchline, while the other three were led by his assistant, Lucas Silvestre.

The current coach’s numbers are very similar to those of Vítor Pereira, who led the team in 2022. The Portuguese manager also recorded 26 wins, but posted 21 draws and 17 losses, reaching a slightly higher success rate of 51.6%. In attack, his team found the net 75 times and conceded the same 57 goals.

Among the most recent coaches, the best performance belongs to Ramón Díaz. The Argentine was in charge of the club between July 2024 and April 2025 and posted a 60.56% success rate in 60 matches, totaling 31 wins, 16 draws, and 13 losses. His team scored 94 goals and conceded 62, establishing the best return of the period — a survey initially highlighted by content creator Dyego Valença on X (formerly Twitter).

Even with more modest numbers, Dorival achieved important successes in knockout competitions. Under his command, Corinthians won the 2025 Copa do Brasil and the Supercopa at the start of this season. Vítor Pereira, meanwhile, led the club to a Copa do Brasil runner-up finish and the Libertadores quarterfinals, while Ramón Díaz won the 2025 Campeonato Paulista.

Even so, the team’s recent run has weighed on the coach’s numbers. Timão has gone seven straight matches without a win, a streak that directly impacted his success rate. Before this stretch, Dorival had 53.8% of the points won across 57 matches, a higher figure than his current one.

Now, the coach will have the chance to turn things around and improve his numbers in the next match. Corinthians returns to the pitch on April 1, when it faces Fluminense at the Maracanã in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship, looking to end the negative streak and regain confidence for the season.
