Corinthians, a major Brazilian football club, has announced the dismissal of coach Lucas Piccinato from its women's team just hours after a frustrating draw with Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship. Despite having a numerical advantage during the match, the team failed to secure a victory, leading to the decision to part ways with Piccinato. He had been in charge since December 2023, following the departure of Arthur Elias, who moved on to coach the Brazilian national team.

During his tenure, Piccinato accomplished notable successes, winning two Campeonato Brasileiro titles, two Copa Libertadores, and a Supercopa, boasting an impressive win rate of around 77% over 101 matches. However, recent performances have raised concerns, particularly after the team's second-place finishes in both the Copa dos Campeões and Supercopa, where they lost to Arsenal and Palmeiras, respectively. This string of results appears to have contributed significantly to the club's decision to make a coaching change at this pivotal moment in the season.

In addition to Piccinato's dismissal, the club has also let go of assistant coach Brenno Basso, goalkeeper coach Francisco Rodrigues, and fitness coach Luiz Guilherme Gonçalves. The management's actions signal a desire for a turnaround in the team's fortunes as they seek to reclaim their position at the top of Brazilian women's football following recent underwhelming performances.
