With the Brazilian side just three points clear of the relegation zone, the club have opted to remove their manager
Just seven months after being tasked with leading the rebuild of tragedy-hit Chapecoense, head coach Vagner Mancini has been let go.
Nineteen Chapecoense players and coach Caio Junior were among the 71 who lost their lives last November when the plane carrying them to Medellin for the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional crashed.
Mancini was appointed the following month and oversaw the formation of a new squad, but finds himself out of the job less than seven months later.
