Internacional’s defeat to São Paulo last Saturday (19) sealed Paulo Pezzolano’s fate.
The 43-year-old Uruguayan coach is no longer in charge of Colorado.
The dismissal was made official late on Sunday night (20).

Permanent assistant Pablo Fernandez will oversee the next activities.
And Luis ZubeldÃa is reportedly the favorite to take over the job.
Pezzolano was hired after Inter avoided relegation in last year’s Brasileirão. His contract ran until December.
He was in charge of Colorado for 46 matches, with 18 wins, 12 draws, and 16 defeats. A 47.8% success rate.
Inter’s post-World Cup run has produced only two wins in 14 matches.
Pezzolano’s situation became even more delicate after the elimination against rivals Grêmio in the Copa do Brasil.
He even earned a reprieve after the win over Chapecoense, but the decision was made to part ways after another stumble.

The focus will be on finding a successor during the FIFA international break.
Inter began the season by losing to Grêmio in the Campeonato Gaúcho final.
And now only the battle against relegation in the Brasileirão lies ahead.
Inter are currently in 18th place with 28 points.
They are three points behind Vasco, in 16th, who have two more wins.
They will return to action on October 7. On that date, they will host Corinthians at Beira-Rio.
