Fluminense announced Monday that coach Fernando Diniz is out after a poor start in Serie A, leaving the team at the bottom of the standings.
Diniz rejoined the Rio club in 2022 and led them to victories in the Copa Libertadores last season and the Recopa Sudamericana this February. Despite earlier successes, Fluminense only managed six points from 11 games this season. The final straw was a 1-0 loss to Flamengo.
