Coach had been doing a terrible job in 2024 in charge of rival Tricolor
|
0Despite his great identification with Fluminense and winning the Libertadores, Diniz had been criticized for the club's terrible campaign in the Brasileirão, where they are at the bottom. This is the club's worst start in the points competition.
During this spell at Fluminense, Fernando Diniz was voted the best coach in South America by the Uruguayan newspaper "La Nación", in the traditional vote from "King of America". He overtook names like Abel Ferreira, (Palmeiras), Lionel Scaloni (Argentina national team), Luis Zubeldía (former LDU and currently at São Paulo) and Marcelo Bielsa (Uruguay national team).
Diniz also arrived simultaneously commanding the Brazilian team during this period, but without having the same success: he played just six games for the team, with victories over Bolivia and Peru, a draw with Venezuela, defeats to Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina.

0After being eliminated in the Libertadores, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (29) to face Athletico-PR, in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The team led by Tite runs the risk of achieving its worst sequence of results in eight years, if it does not achieve a victory against the team from Paraná.
If it does not get the three points, Flamengo will reach five consecutive games without winning, something that hasn't happened since 2016, when the team was coached by Muricy Ramalho. That year, Flamengo faced a series of six games without victory, with defeats to Confiança-SE, Athletico-PR and Volta Redonda, as well as draws with Fluminense, Vasco and Botafogo.
