Fernando Diniz, ex-Fluminense, was the latest victim of the 'most feared', as Mengão maintains an impressive unbeaten streak
|
0Flamengo beat Fluminense 1-0 on Sunday (23), in a game valid for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The victory in the Fla-Flu classic was decided with a goal from Pedro in the second half, sealing three more points for Mais Querido. The match, played at Maracanã, was marked by high tension and several wasted chances by both teams. With the result, Flamengo climbed the table, while Fluminense sank into a crisis.
On Monday (24), one day after the defeat, Fluminense announced the dismissal of coach Fernando Diniz. The club justified the decision due to recent poor results and the team's lack of evolution. Diniz's departure marks the fourth time that a coach has been fired after losing to Flamengo this season. The Tricolor Carioca board is now looking for a replacement to try to reverse the situation in the championship.
In April this year, São Paulo was the first to fire its coach after a defeat for Flamengo. Coach Thiago Carpini could not resist the 2-1 defeat and was dismissed from his position after 18 games. On that occasion, Flamengo proved to be dominant, while São Paulo failed to present competitive football. This defeat was a turning point for the São Paulo team, which was seeking a technical restructuring.
Another example was Vasco da Gama, who fired coach Álvaro Pacheco after a 6-1 defeat suffered by Flamengo. Pacheco had a short spell at São Januário, leading the team in just four matches without any victories. The crushing defeat to the red-black rival was the last straw for the Vasco board, who opted for a radical change to try to save the season.
Beyond Furthermore, Athletico-PR fired Cuca after a 1-1 draw with Flamengo. The decision came a week after the game, which was the last straw for the coach's departure. Cuca was already under pressure and the draw at home against Corinthians was decisive for his dismissal. With the departure of Fernando Diniz, Fluminense joins this list of clubs that opted for a change of command after clashes with Flamengo.
Now, after beating the Fluminense and cause another dismissal, Flamengo turns its attention to the next game. Mais Querido faces Juventude this Wednesday (26), in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be held at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, at 8pm (Brasília time). Flamengo seeks to maintain momentum and continue climbing the table, while Fluminense tries to reorganize itself for the remainder of the competition.

The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
