Franclim Carvalho sacked by Botafogo, 15th managerial casualty of 2026 Brasileirão | OneFootball

Franclim Carvalho has been sacked by Botafogo, becoming the 15th managerial casualty of the 2026 Brasileirão. According to Globo.com, the Portuguese coach was dismissed on Tuesday after a poor run and following the arrival of a new investor in the club's SAF.

Carvalho departs after four months in charge, overseeing 22 matches. His side recorded 10 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats, a 56.1% return.

Pressure intensified last week with a 6-1 defeat to Cienciano in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. In the subsequent Brasileiro fixture, Botafogo lost 1-0 to Vitória.

The 39-year-old was appointed in April as successor to Argentine coach Martín Anselmi.

The first top-flight dismissal of 2026 was Jorge Sampaoli at Atlético-MG.
