The 53-year-old Chamusca took charge of a training session of the Riyadh-based club, who currently sit on top of Group C in the 2019 AFC Champions League, on Saturday.
Mamic's final game for the 2017-18 Saudi Pro League champions was Friday's 5-0 defat against Al Taawoun in the 2019 King’s Cup semi-finals.
“Al Hilal Club Board of Directors decided on Saturday to terminate the contract of the Croatian first team manager Zoran Mamic, as the club Board reached an agreement with Al Faisaly club management for the services of Brazilian manager Pericles Chamusca on loan until the end of the season, in which the Honorary Member of the club His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal funded the cost of the agreement,” read the statement on the club’s Twitter account.
Chamusca’s first test for the 15-time league champions will be against Al Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League at the King Saud University Stadium on Monday.
