Esporte Clube Vitória has officially dismissed head coach Thiago Carpini after 14 months in charge. The decision followed the team's elimination from the Copa do Nordeste, where Vitória lost 1-0 to Confiança in the quarterfinals at Barradão stadium. Carpini's tenure ended with a 48% winning percentage. In response, Vitória quickly moved to appoint Fábio Carille as the new head coach. Carille, a multi-champion coach with Corinthians and recently departed from Vasco, was on vacation before entering negotiations with Vitória. The club confirmed Carille's hiring on July 9, 2025, aiming to improve their competitive performance moving forward.
