Brazilian football once again exposes a contradiction that is already a hallmark of its competitive calendar: while the clubs dominate the Copa Libertadores, the national championship becomes an authentic machine for crushing coaches. According to data collected this season, there have already been 19 dismissals in just 29 matchdays in the top flight, a number that illustrates the fragility of projects and the permanent pressure for immediate results.
The most recent case involves Fernando Diniz, removed by Corinthians after the defeat with Internacional. The curiosity – and the novelty – lies in the fact that Diniz had already been fired by another team in the same edition: Vasco da Gama dismissed him after the 3rd round. It is the first time that a coach has lost his position twice in the same Brazilian championship, a record that goes directly into the history of the competition.
The list of changes to the bank is long and covers several major brands. After Jorge Sampaoli's departure from Atlético Mineiro, a number of notable names followed: Juan Carlos Osorio (Remo), Filipe Luís (Flamengo), Hernán Crespo (São Paulo), Tite (Cruzeiro), Vojvoda (Santos), Martín Anselmi (Botafogo), Guilmar Del Pozo (Chapecoense), Dorival Júnior (Corinthians), Rogério Machado (São Paulo), Fábio Matias (Chapecoense), Renato Gaúcho (Vasco), Luis Zubeldía (Fluminense), Franklin Carvalho (Botafogo), Luís Castro (Grêmio), Léo Condé (Remo) and Pezzolano (Internacional) are among the coaches who have left their positions since the start of the season.
The numbers gain even more importance as they coexist with the supremacy that Brazil has displayed on the continental stage. Fluminense, Palmeiras and Flamengo are in the Libertadores semi-finals, a scenario that guarantees the presence of at least one Brazilian representative in the final scheduled for November, at the Centenário Stadium, in Montevideo, Uruguay. A portrait of sporting power that contrasts with the volatility of the coaching role in the Brasileirão.
At issue will be, among other factors, the high demands of the masses of fans, the intensity of the calendar and the little margin offered by the leaders to consolidate ideas. What is certain is that the pace of decisions on the bench does not slow down: 19 departures in 29 rounds reflect an environment of minimal tolerance for error and a championship in which technical continuity has become a rarity. It remains to be seen whether, with the final stretch just around the corner and the Libertadores on the horizon for several giants, there will be room for stability or whether the rota-vava will continue to set the agenda for Canarian football.
What happens next
With Diniz's resignation, Corinthians faces the urgent need to find a new coach who can stabilize the team and improve results. The list of fired coaches continues to grow, and the pressure to find an effective replacement is intense, especially in an environment as competitive as the Brasileirão.
