Gilmar Dal Pozzo is no longer Chapecoense's manager | OneFootball

The average of one coach departure per round in the 2026 Brasileirão is STILL ON.

Chapecoense announced this Friday (3) that Gilmar Dal Pozzo, 56, is no longer in charge of the team. 

The decision was made after the defeat to Atlético Mineiro.

He was in charge of Verdão do Oeste for 22 matches this season.

There were eight wins (six of them in the Catarinense), seven draws, and seven losses.

Chape finished as runner-up in the state championship — beaten by Barra — are in the Brasileirão relegation zone, and have three points from two rounds in the South-Southeast Cup.

A historic Chape coach

A former goalkeeper, Dal Pozzo arrived at Verdão do Oeste in May 2012 after having coached only teams from Rio Grande do Sul.

And he wrote his name into the club’s history. Chape were runners-up in Série C and, the following year, runners-up in Série B, securing promotion to the top flight for 2014.

His first long spell ended after two years and a poor start in the Brasileirão.

He returned in 2022 with the mission of keeping Chape in Série B, and he succeeded.

His next return came in 2023, but without success.

Dal Pozzo returned for the third time in August 2024. 

Chape stayed in Série B and, last year, earned another promotion to Série A under his command.
