⚠️ Fernando Diniz is no longer Vasco's manager | OneFootball

The second tenure of Fernando Diniz at the helm of Vasco has come to an end.

The 51-year-old coach left the command of the Cruz-Maltino this Sunday (22).

The decision was made right after the defeat to Fluminense in the first leg of the Carioca semifinal.

The 2026 season for Vasco includes three wins, three draws, and four losses.

The poor start in the Brasileirão also weighed on the board's decision, as Vasco has one point after three rounds.

They will play again on Thursday (26), when they visit Santos at Vila Belmiro.

The return match against Fluminense will be next Sunday (1).

Diniz was the seventh longest-serving coach at a Série A club.

Emotion in the Brasileirão and runner-up in 2025

Diniz returned to command Vasco on May 15 of last year.

The Cruz-Maltino reached the Copa do Brasil final but was defeated by Corinthians.

His re-debut was in the loss to Lanús in the Copa Sudamericana. Vasco would eventually be eliminated by Independiente del Valle in the playoff rounds of the round of 16.

The performance in the Brasileirão was ten wins, six draws, and fourteen losses in 30 games.

Vasco was defeated in seven of the last eight rounds and finished the BR in 14th place with 45 points.

Ceará, which was relegated in 17th place, had 43.
