Fernando Diniz is out at Corinthians, gone after suffering his seventh consecutive defeat in the Brasileirão. The axe fell on Wednesday, October 7, after a crushing loss to Inter in Porto Alegre, and it’s fair to say social media exploded the moment the news broke.
The Board Finally Moves, But the Timing? Really?
The writing has been on the wall for a minute, but the Corinthians board finally pulled the trigger after Diniz’s seventh straight league loss. What really got fans buzzing though, was the *timing* of the decision. The club had gone a full 16 days without playing a single game due to the recent international break. You’d think they’d have made a move then, right? Nope. Social media was relentless, with reactions like “It was obvious,” and “Only the Corinthians board didn’t see it,” flooding timelines. Fans were also quick to point out, “It was only a matter of time,” and “Easy to see coming.” It’s hard to argue with them when a team has that kind of losing streak. Even with some saying, “They played well, but…”, the message was clear: “Things are tense,” and “No doubting it.”
A Second Sacking This Campaign: What Now For Corinthians?
This isn’t even Diniz’s first rodeo this season. He began the year in charge of Vasco and left *that* club after just the third round. So, yeah, this is his second dismissal during this single league campaign, which is wild. With fans already calling for “Time to pay the price, Diniz” and joking about “Still time to go for a third,” the pressure is absolutely immense. And what’s next for Corinthians? Well, according to the fans, “there’s a derby coming up.” The board made a move, but the real test is just around the corner. Someone’s gotta clean up this mess, and fast.
