Corinthians did not go even 24 hours without a head coach.
Fernando Diniz will, in fact, be Dorival Júnior’s replacement at Timão.
At 52, he signed a contract until the end of this season.
A video on social media confirmed his arrival.
He will make his debut next Thursday (9) against Platense in the opening matchday of Libertadores Group E. The game will be played in Argentina.
After that, there will be the derby against Palmeiras at Itaquera on Sunday (12), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.

Diniz had been available on the market since being dismissed by Vasco on February 22.
An interesting detail is that he had been replaced by Dorival Júnior in charge of the Brazilian national team and now arrives at SCCP precisely in Dorival’s place.
The former midfielder Diniz played for Corinthians between 1997 and 1998, winning the Paulista championship in his first year.
He is joining the 15th club of his coaching career after spells at Votoraty, Paulista, Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto, Atlético Sorocaba, Audax (four times), Guaratinguetá, Paraná, Oeste, Athletico, Fluminense (twice), São Paulo, Santos, Vasco (twice), and Cruzeiro.
