Esperance's official site announced that the former Zamalek manager has been fired, following Sunday's 2-1 home league defeat to CA Bizertin.

The Grinners are seventh in the Tunisian league with 16 points, as they failed to win in their last four matches under the management of 'Cabralzinho'.

Esperance also confirmed that Youssef Zouaoui will take over from the Brazilian.
