Corinthians did not go even 24 hours without a head coach.
Fernando Diniz will, in fact, replace Dorival Júnior 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 round of Libertadores Group E. The match will be played in Argentina.
Next up is the derby against Palmeiras at Itaquera on Sunday (12), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.
Timão currently sit 16th in the Brasileirão with ten points. Opening the relegation zone is Chapecoense, who have eight and one game in hand.
They are on a run of nine consecutive matches without a win this season.

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The interesting part is that he had been replaced by Dorival Júnior as Brazil national team coach and now arrives at SCCP precisely in Dorival’s place.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