Rio De Janeiro: Santos have sacked manager Paulo Turra after just seven games in charge as the Brazilian Serie A giants fight to avoid relegation.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Santos said assistant coaches Adir Kirst, Felipe Endres and Leo Monteiro were also relieved of their duties, reports Xinhua.

The announcement came less than a day after Santos were held to a 1-1 home draw by Athletico Paranaense, a result that left them 17th in the 20-team standings.

Turra, who replaced Odair Hellmann in June, led the club to one win, three draws and three losses during his six weeks in the role.
