Diniz became a successful coach at Fluminense and is now aiming for a permanent place in the Brazilian team; see the trajectory of the tricolor commander
Fernando Diniz is already part of the history of Fluminense and Brazilian football as a whole. On November 4, 2023, already in extra time, Tricolor das Laranjeiras beat the Boca Juniors 2-1 (with goals from pipe It is John Kennedy), in the middle of Maracanã, and won his first cup in the continental competition.
Furthermore, at the beginning of the year, the teacher had helped Flu win the Carioca Championship in a grand final against Flamengo (with a turnaround in the aggregate score), not counting the Guanabara Cup, which was also obtained. The state trophies were his first as a coach at an elite club in Brazilian football.
Until 2018, Diniz had coached lesser teams on the national stage, although he managed two Paulista Cups and a state A3 Series. After this period, he collected oscillating passages through Athletico-PRby Fluminense himself, São Paulo, Santos It is Vascountil returning to the club that would make him champion of America.
The departure from Tricolor Paulista was, in the coach’s own words, the most painful of his career. Diniz was fired after São Paulo went six games without winning and was unable to maintain its lead in the final rounds of the Brasileirão 2020which led him to lose the title to Flamengo.
In 2021, in Santos and Vasco, the situations were more emergency. Peixe was coming from a moment of instability, while Cruzmaltino was, at the time, seeking access to the Series A of the Brazilian Championship. After a string of poor results, he was released by both clubs. The following year, he would return to Fluzão, however, he would have to wait another season to leave his name marked at the club with titles.
Thus, with its long-term successful work at Tricolor das Laranjeiras, CBF entrusted the coach with the role of temporarily leading the Brazilian team. With his style that prioritizes possession and touch of the ball, positional fluidity, recovery of discredited athletes and the trust in young promises, Diniz has an arduous task ahead of Amarelinha.
A morning that will never leave our memory. We are America’s champions! 💚❤️
