Fluminense appoint Moreira as coach

Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian football club Fluminense have appointed Enderson Moreira as their coach for the second time.

The 43-year-old replaces Ricardo Drubscky, who parted ways with the Rio de Janeiro outfit on Wednesday after less than two months in the role, reports Xinhua.

In a statement on Thursday, Fluminense said Moreira's contract would last at least until the end of 2015.

Moreira also coached the club in 2011 when he guided the team to the knockouts of Copa Libertadores, South America's top club competition. His last coaching position with Atletico Parananese ended in March when he was sacked after just 34 days.

Fluminense are currently 11th in Brazil's 20-team Serie A standings.
