Four Brazilian clubs named new coaches on Thursday as the "Dance of the Coaches" continued following the end of the league last Sunday.
Pericles Chamusca, who left Sao Caetano the day before, took over at Goias while former Brazil goalkeeper Zetti, who led Fortaleza out of the second division, was immediately named as Chamusca's replacement at Sao Caetano.
Figueirense named Paulo Comelli as their new coach and Agnaldo de Jesus took over at Paysandu, replacing Vagner Benazzi who had decided not to renew his contract.
On Wednesday, Levir Culpi, who led Atletico Paranaense to the runners-up spot, took over at 2003 champions Cruzeiro for the third time.
Cruzeiro finished a modest 13th this year as they paid the price for dismantling their title-winning team.

The championship itself produced 42 coaching victims in 46 rounds of matches.
Relegated Guarani were the most volatile club, using five coaches in Joel Santana, Zetti, Lori Sandri, Agnaldo Liz and Jair Picerni.
They were followed by Atletico Mineiro, Gremio and Flamengo, who used four each.
