👋🏽 Red Bull Bragantino confirm Fernando Seabra's departure | OneFootball

Red Bull Bragantino made the dismissal of Fernando Seabra official on the afternoon of this Monday (27).

Earlier, the departure of the 48-year-old professional had already been reported by journalists Pedro Rocha and André Hernan.

The decision was made after Massa Bruta's defeat to Vasco by 3-0. A result that kept the team with 36 points in the Brasileirão. 

And it only reinforced the poor performance after the pause in Brazilian football for the Club World Cup.

There were 20 games since the resumption, with only three victories. The sequence also includes four draws and 13 losses - including the two against Botafogo in the Copa do Brasil.

Assistant coaches Vinícius Rovaris and Álvaro Martins also leave the club.

Anderson Marques will take over as interim coach. 

Vasco is the executioner for the third time

It was the third coach that Vasco "dismissed" in the Brasileirão after Zubeldía and Cléber Xavier.

The Argentine's stint at São Paulo ended after the cross-maltese victory at MorumBIS by 3-1. A decision made by the coach after the 12th round of the BR. 

The former assistant of Tite fell after Peixe suffered a 6-0 defeat at the same stadium in a match of the 20th round. 

Fernando Seabra joined the club on October 31 of last year. Massa Bruta was part of the Z-4 of the Brasileirão and was coming off seven winless games.

The mission was to keep the team in the elite of the competition, which was confirmed in the final round.

He had already worked at RB Brasil (2009-2013) and started 2024 leading Bragantino II, the under-23 team, before taking over Cruzeiro. 

He was the fifth longest-serving coach among Serie A clubs.

Red Bull Bragantino will play again next Sunday (2), when they will visit Bahia at the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova.

The advantage over Vitória, the team that opens the Z-4 of the BR, is five points.
