Caio Júnior is the new coach of Esporte Clube Bahia. He takes over from Paulo Roberto Falcão, less than a day after the latter's dismissal. The agreement between the parties was finalized this Friday.
Júnior is expected to be at the Pituaçu Stadium to watch Tricolor's game against Coritiba on Sunday. The coach, formerly with Al Jazira, is 47 years old and has the mission of lifting Bahia out of the relegation zone in the Brazilian Championship.
