SAO PAULO — Fluminense fired coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo Monday after a nine-game winless run left the Rio club in danger of becoming the first league champions to be relegated the following season. Fluminense has lost has four of its last five games and patience with former Real Madrid boss Luxemburgo has ran out. “President Peter Siemsen decided that coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo will no longer remain as manager of Fluminense,” the club said in a statement on their website. The club did not immediately announce a replacement but hopes to have a new manager for Thursday's game against Nautico. — Reuters
