Botafogo parts ways with manager Franclim Carvalho after defeats
Summary

Botafogo has fired manager Franclim Carvalho following a disappointing run that included losses to Cienciano (6-1) and Vitória (1-0). The decision came on August 18, just two days before Botafogo is set to face Cienciano again in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. Carvalho took over the team in April, but his tenure lasted 22 matches, with a record of ten wins, seven draws, and five defeats. New investor Gabriel de Alba is reportedly leading changes at the club as part of a strategic shift.
