RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Rafael Lacerda has parted ways with Chapecoense after a poor run of results, the Brazilian Serie A club said on Monday.

The 42-year-old guided Chapecoense to four wins, four draws and 12 losses after taking charge on May 30.

In a statement, Chapecoense said Lacerda would be replaced on an interim basis by assistants Rodrigo Chip and Ricardo Chuva.

Chapecoense is currently last in Brazil's 20-team top flight standings and has already been relegated to Serie B next season.

The club's next match will be a home Serie A fixture against Vasco da Gama on Saturday. ■
