⚠️ Red Bull Bragantino agree deal to appoint manager Vagner Mancini | OneFootball

Red Bull Bragantino has finalized the hiring of coach Vagner Mancini, aged 59.

Information from ESPN Brasil and journalist Venê Casagrande.

The official announcement is expected to happen soon. 

He will replace Fernando Seabra, dismissed last Monday (27).

He is likely to sign only until the end of this year, arriving in an "emergency" capacity. 

Mancini has been available in the market since his dismissal from Goiás on the 13th of this month.

The Esmeraldino was competing for the leadership of Serie B but lost momentum, and he couldn't withstand it.

His first mission will be to ensure a turnaround for Massa Bruta, which has won only three of the 20 matches played after the Club World Cup.

The team from Bragança Paulista occupies the 12th position in the BR, with 36 points. Vitória, opening the Z-4, has 31.

They will play again on Sunday (2), facing Bahia at the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova.

Mancini began his coaching career in 2004 with Paulista. He won the Copa do Brasil the following year with the Jundiaí team.

He has four tenures with Vitória and two with Grêmio, América Mineiro, Atlético-GO, and Goiás. He also managed Santos, Vasco, Ceará, Cruzeiro, Athletico, Botafogo, Chapecoense, São Paulo as an interim, Atlético-MG, Corinthians, Al-Nasr (UAE), Guarani, Sport, and Náutico.

Klopp wanted to conduct a 'selection process'

Former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp took on the role of global football director at Red Bull in October last year.

And, according to ESPN Brasil, he wanted to conduct a selection process to determine the new coach for Red Bull Bragantino. 

Tactical vision and command of the English language would be fundamental points.

However, the choice of Mancini was made without Klopp's involvement and was led by Diego Cerri, the football executive of Massa Bruta.

The focus was on finding a professional familiar with Brazilian football.
