U.S. set to debut in Serie B's Z4 competition, marking the nation's first entry after a month-long winless streak.
In a surprising move, Brazilian football club América has parted ways with coach Enderson Moreira, according to reports by Mateus Augusto Pena. The dismissal comes amidst the team's poor performance in the 2025 Brazilian Serie B Championship.
The club's board has cited América's disappointing results as the reason for the decision, with no wins in over a month and a five-game losing streak. In the past ten games under Moreira's leadership, América has suffered six defeats, two wins, and two draws, leaving them in 16th place with 21 points.
Despite the early termination, the dismissal is not due to a mutual agreement or performance issues in the last ten games. Instead, it appears to be a proactive move by the club's board, who view it as 'before time'.
As of now, there is no information available about the new coach for América in the 2025 Serie B. The club's board has not yet named a replacement for Moreira.
Meanwhile, América's upcoming game against Remo is scheduled for Saturday (9/8) at 4:00 PM at the Independencia Arena. The team will be hoping to turn their fortunes around and end their losing streak, as they face a crucial period in the season.
Volta Redonda, currently in the same position as América, could overtake them with a simple draw against Cuiabá. Meanwhile, Paysandu, currently in 19th place, could overtake América if they win against Athletico Paranaense.
The football director of América, Fred Cascardo, may also face dismissal as the club looks to address its issues and improve its performance in the league.
América's last win was on June 26th against CRB in Maceió. The team will be hoping to return to winning ways soon and climb up the table in the 2025 Serie B.
The club's board is looking for a new coach for América, following the dismissal of Enderson Moreira, as the team struggles in the 2025 Brazilian Serie B Championship. Despite the early termination, the dismissal is not due to a mutual agreement or performance issues in the last ten games, but rather a proactive move by the board. In European leagues, such as Serie A, struggling teams often make similar decisions to turn their fortunes around during critical periods of the season.
