⚠️ Couldn't hold on, Vitória announce the sacking of manager Fábio Carille | OneFootball

Just a few hours after suffering the biggest defeat in the history of the Brasileirão by points, being thrashed 8 x 0 by Flamengo at Maracanã, Vitória announced the dismissal of coach Fábio Carille.

The 51-year-old coach was announced by Leão da Barra on July 9, after Rubro-Negro's elimination from the Copa do Nordeste the previous day, with a 1 x 0 defeat to Confiança in the quarterfinals.

Fábio Carille made his debut for Vitória in a 1 x 0 defeat to Internacional and led the club in nine Brasileirão matches, with only one victory, three defeats, and five draws.

Even at the press conference, the coach showed his disappointment with the thrashing suffered at Maracanã.

"It's the worst defeat of my life. This is my ninth year as a coach and it was shameful. I can't find words. Horrible and shameful night. I want to apologize on behalf of the group. What upsets me is that we knew where Flamengo was strong. We worked, but we couldn't reproduce it on the field".

Fábio Mota, president of Vitória, also apologized to the fans for the humiliating defeat.

" I want to apologize to Vitória's fans. I'm very ashamed. We went through this in the Série C, when we lost 6 x 0 to Figueirense (it was 5×1). But we didn't end there. We went through this in the Série B, we lost 6 x 0 to Avaí (it was CRB), then we became champions. It's a situation we didn't want to happen, but it happened. No one here is throwing in the towel".

Leão da Barra returns to the field next Sunday (31), when it hosts Atlético-MG, at Barradão, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
