Thai League champions Buriram United and coach Alexandre Gama have parted company by mutual consent, the club announced yesterday.
Alexandre Gama.
The agreement was reached after Buriram won 2-0 at Bangkok Glass on Sunday night.
Buriram manager Tatthep Pitakpoolsing said: "Following talks, we have agreed to part company by mutual consent."
Brazilian Gama said: "The game with Bangkok Glass was my last game as coach of Buriram. I understand the situation and accept the decision. This is football."
Gama was appointed coach of Buriram in 2014, replacing Serbia's Bozidar Bandovic.
Under the Brazilian, Buriram have won four major titles -- the Thai League (twice), FA Cup and League Cup.
The Thunder Castle swept all three major domestic titles without defeat last year.
However, Buriram have made an unconvincing start to the current season.
At the weekend, they beat Bangkok Glass 2-0 with goals from Ko Seul-Ki and Anawin Jujeen.
And although the win moved them up to third place on 25 points from 13 matches, they are still eight points adrift of leaders SCG Muang Thong United.
According to reports, Iranian Afshin Ghotbi will replace Gama.
Ghotbi has worked in several countries including the US, South Korea and Japan.
He was assistant coach of South Korea from 2004-2007 and coach of the Iranian national side from 2009-2011. His most recent job was coach of Japanese side Shimizu S-Pulse from 2011-2014.
