Vitória part ways with Thiago Carpini after home Copa do Brasil exit | OneFootball

Vitória announced on Wednesday (9) the departure of coach Thiago Carpini.

The decision was made after the club was eliminated at home in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Nordeste against Confiança.

The Lion was defeated 1-0 on Tuesday (8) with a goal scored in the final stretch of the second half.

It was the team's first game after the break in the calendar for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Carpini was the fourth longest-serving coach in a Serie A club.

He was only behind Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras-30/10/2020), Vojvoda (Fortaleza-10/05/2021) and Rogério Ceni (Bahia-09/09/2023).

Carpini was hired in May of last year, after the fifth round of the last edition of the Brasileirão.

He coached Vitória for 14 months, helping the club avoid relegation and qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.

The club was eliminated from the international competition still in the group stage.

In the current edition of the Brazilian Championship, Vitória occupies the 16th position, one above the relegation zone.

In the state championship this year, the Lion was defeated by rival Bahia in the final.
