Vasco ended the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (08), with a 5-0 defeat to Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV, in the 38th round of the Brasileirão. With that, the question remains: can Diniz be fired? THE Sporting News show.
Will Fernando Diniz leave Vasco?
It is unlikely that Fernando Diniz will be fired from Vasco before the Copa do Brasil semi-final against Fluminense. The coach signed a contract until December 2026, with a salary of around R$1 million.
If he is fired between January 2026 and June 2026, the fine is the payment of three salaries. If he is fired between July and December 2026, the termination fine is two salaries.
Furthermore, the coach continues to enjoy a certain prestige from the board, despite criticism from fans. Vasco finished the Brasileirão in 14th place, with 45 points.
