Kleina, 49, is Chapecoense's fourth coach this year, following Vagner Mancini, Vinicius Eutropio and Emerson Cris, reports Xinhua news agency.
The latter was dismissed after the side's 0-1 home loss to Flamengo on Sunday, a result that left them 16th in the 20-team top flight standings, above the relegation zone only on goal difference.
Kleina, who was sacked as coach of fellow Brazilian Serie A strugglers Ponte Preta last month, is expected to take charge for the first time in Chapecoense's visit to Atletico Mineiro on Wednesday.
Seventy-one people died -- including 22 Chapecoense players and all of the team's coaching staff -- when a chartered plane in which they were travelling crashed in Colombia last November.
