São Paulo announced on Monday that Doriva is no longer the club’s coach, after four defeats, two draws and one win in seven games.
Doriva’s last match in charge was on Sunday in the 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro at the Mineirão stadium in the Brazilian Championship. Milton Cruz, who led the team between April and June this year, should once again take charge until the end of the season. Appointed to replace Juan Carlos Osório, Doriva left Ponte Preta to accept the challenge at São Paulo in the final stretch of the season. The former Middlesbrough player arrived at Tricolor following a good spell at Ponte Preta, but was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by rivals Santos, and they’re now fighting for a place in the Brasileirão top-4. Doriva was revealed by São Paulo as a defensive midfielder in the 1990s and was one of the last acquisitions before the resignation of president Carlos Miguel Aidar.
