Manager with the rudest name in football gets a new job with Brazilian top flight side
Sponsored by
BRAZILIAN top flight club Esporte Clube Vitória have appointed a new manager after previous boss Vagner Mancini's dismissal - and he has the RUDEST name in the whole of football.
Argel Fucks is a former centre back for the likes of Porto, Benfica and Racing Santander, and even has an international cap for Brazil in the 1995 friendly with Honduras.
Unsurprisingly known as "Argel", Fucks was even briefly linked with the Liverpool manager's post when Roy Hodgson was sacked in 2011, before Kenny Dalglish returned to Anfield.
Fucks, 42, is somewhat of a managerial nomad, entering his 22nd managerial role in just EIGHT years having taken charge of teams across the Brazilian professional game.
In 2011, he managed a whopping FIVE teams in just one calendar year, and has taken on his latest challenge at Vitoria, until the end of the season.

He told the Brazilian press: "I'm motivated and ready for this challenge. Several Vitoria players worked with me, I know the group's quality. I hope to do a great job."
According to Globe Sporte, the Vitoria board sought Fucks because of his "energetic qualities" who is perfect to give a "jolt" to a club in the relegation zone, sitting in 18th place with 26 points from 24 games.
Fucks was fired from fellow top flight club Figueirense in late August, after only eight matches in charge - including a win, four draws and three defeats.
But he has had some success, particularly with giant International in 2015/2016 where he stayed for almost 11 months, winning 33 of his 61 games in charge.
