Fernando Diniz Silva (born 27 March 1974) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as a midfielder.[1] He was recently the head coach of Cruzeiro.
Diniz is well known for his style of play with its focus on ball possession. For this reason, he is known to be the manager who consolidated the Tiki-taka style in Brazil, which earned him the nickname of "Brazilian Guardiola". Although acknowledging Guardiola's influence on his intention to dominate games, Diniz has distanced himself from Guardiola's positional tactics, introducing a relational approach known as "Dinizmo".[2]
