Rio de Janeiro, Nov 30 (IANS) Fluminense have sacked manager Marcelo Oliveira, less than 24 hours after the club's elimination from the Copa Sudamericana.
Assistant coach Fabio Moreno will take charge on a caretaker basis, the Brazilian club said in a statement on Thursday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Oliveira led Fluminense to 12 wins, eight draws and 13 losses after replacing Abel Braga in June.
The four-time top flight champions are currently 14th in Brazil's 20-team Serie A standings with one match remaining in the season.
A defeat to Brazilian rivals Atletico Paranaense on Wednesday dashed their hopes of securing a place in next year's Copa Libertadores, South America's premier club competition.
