Fernando Diniz’s debut in charge of Corinthians, scheduled for this Thursday (9) against Platense in the Copa Libertadores, brings with it an interesting point based on the coach’s recent track record: how long it takes him to earn his first win in a new job.

A survey of the most recent clubs managed by Diniz, carried out by the Estatísticas Corinthianas profile on X, shows that the coach does not usually follow a single pattern at the start. At some clubs, a positive result came immediately, while at others he needed more matches before getting his first win.

In his second spell at Fluminense, for example, the win came right in his debut. The same happened in his first experience at Santos, when he won in his very first match. On the other hand, in his first spell at Vasco, the coach needed three matches to secure his first positive result, repeating that scenario when he returned to the club.

At São Paulo, Diniz earned his first win in his second game in charge, a number similar to what he recorded in his first spell at Fluminense, when he won in the second match. The slowest start among his recent jobs came at Cruzeiro, where the coach only managed to win in his sixth game.

Given this record, expectations at Corinthians revolve around either a quick response or an initial adjustment period. Officially announced last Monday (6), Fernando Diniz had little time to prepare before this Thursday’s debut (9), which makes the challenge of implementing his ideas even greater.

The coach arrives at Timão under pressure to deliver a quick response amid the team’s difficult moment. The Alvinegro Paulista has gone nine matches without a win, with its last positive result coming on February 19 against Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada, by a score of 1-0, still in the third round of the Brasileirão.

São Paulo: 2nd game

Santos: 1st game

Vasco (1st spell): 3rd game

Fluminense (2nd spell): 1st game
