Former Rangers manager flop Pedro Caixinha finds another new club – in another new country
FORMER Rangers flop manager Pedro Caixinha has been appointed manager of big-spending Brazilian side Red Bull Bragantino on a two-year deal.
The Portuguese boss was fired in September from Argentinian side Atletico Talleres after less than six months in the job and just three wins in 16 games.
However, he's back managing in yet another country after being named boss of the Sao Paulo club, who finished 14th out of 20 clubs in Brazil's Serie A league last season.
Bragantino went into administration two years ago and were completely bought over by the energy drinks giants.
They changed the names and the colours of the club from the black which they had played in from their formation in 1928 to their corporate red and white colours and also changed the badge.
Caixinha's departure from Talleres was the fourth time he's been sacked after leaving Rangers.

He initially returned to Mexico to manage Cruz Azul a few months after he left Rangers.
After the sack there, he moved on to Saudi Arabia at Al-Shabab before returning to his first club in Mexico, Santos Laguna.
He was fired from them all.

His time in Argentina got off to a bizarre start when he was ridiculed for wearing the team strip at his introductory press conferences and claimed he was now their biggest fan.
And despite reaching the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, the club's poor league form persuaded its board to act.
Now Caixinha, who has also coached in Romania, Greece and Qatar, is off to start a new adventure in Brazilian football.
