Fortaleza sack manager Renato Paiva, see the details | OneFootball

Renato Paiva is no longer the coach of Fortaleza. The club decided to dismiss the coach this Tuesday, two days after the 2-1 defeat to Internacional at Beira-Rio, in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Assistant coaches Ricardo Dionísio and Miguel Santos, as well as goalkeeping coach Rui Tavares, are also leaving the club.

The Portuguese coach could not withstand Fortaleza's poor run of form. The team has not won since July 26, when they beat Red Bull Bragantino 3-1 in the Brasileirão. Since then, there have been six losses and two draws.

Renato Paiva was announced on July 17 to replace Juan Pablo Vojvoda. Under his command, the team played ten matches, recording only one win, three draws, and six defeats—four of them consecutively.

His stint comes to an end with Fortaleza inside the relegation zone of the Brasileirão: Leão occupies 19th place, with only 15 points. In addition, the coach suffered elimination to Vélez Sarsfield in the Libertadores round of 16.

Marked by turbulence, Paiva’s tenure included the removal of five players—including Deyverson—and even the arrival of reinforcements requested by him. Even so, the results never came convincingly.

Without Renato Paiva, Fortaleza returns to the field on the 13th (a Saturday), when they face Vitória in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão.
