The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Wednesday
it will try to halt the high turnover of coaches at first division teams by
introducing hiring and firing restrictions for next season.

Brazilian clubs are notorious for their lack of patience, with
some teams changing coaches three or four times a year.
Only three of Serie A's 20 sides retained the same coach for
the whole of last season, while all four of the relegated teams had at least
three managers, newspaper Folha de S.Paulo said on its website.
Under the new CBF rules, teams will only be able to fire a
coach and bring in a new one from outside the club once per season.The rule
also applies to coaches, who can resign and join another team only once.
“This is a great advance for Brazilian football and it will
be good for both the clubs as well as the coaches,” CBF President Rogerio
Caboclo said in a statement.
“It implies a more mature relationship and allows for longer
and more consistent work. It is the end of musical chairs for coaches.”
If a team does fire more than one coach it cannot hire a
replacement from outside the organization and instead must appoint someone who
has been working at the club for at least six months, the CBF said.
A club is free to hire externally if a coach resigns.
This first division's new season starts on May 29 and ends
December 5.
