J-League club Oita Trinita have sacked coach Pericles Chamusca.

The club have acted after enduring a 13-match losing streak and saw it fit to part with the Brazilian tactician.

"Basically unless we change (manager) we're in trouble," team official Yasushi Hara said according to Kyodo News Agency.

Oita finished a club-high fourth last season but sit bottom of the table this term, eight points behind second-placed Kashiwa Reysol, having won just one match from 16.
