Chapecoense are not enjoying a great spell this season, as they are battling to avoid relegation in the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, despite just two months in charge, the Chapecó side dismissed head coach Fábio Matias, formerly of Flamengo.
Fábio Matias arrived at Chapecoense two months ago. However, the former Flamengo coach failed to get good results, ending his spell with the Santa Catarina club with five defeats and two draws in the Brasileirão.
Fábio Matias served as interim coach before the arrival of Portuguese manager Paulo Sousa in 2022. In this way, he took charge of the team in two matches, against Portuguesa-RJ and Volta Redonda, recording one win and one draw during that period.
After leaving Flamengo in 2022, Red Bull Bragantino hired Fábio Matias for the under-23 team. In addition, Botafogo brought him in as an assistant coach. Finally, he also had spells at Coritiba, Juventude, Atlético-GO and Portuguesa-SP.
O Mais Querido, Fábio Matias’ former team, remain focused on their upcoming matches. This Tuesday (26), the Rubro-Negro face Cusco (PER) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage.
