Anzoátegui has terminated the contract of head coach Giancarlo Maldonado, marking the third managerial change for the club in just five matchdays of the Torneo Clausura.

Maldonado, who was appointed in March, concluded his tenure on August 27. The club announced the mutual agreement to end his contract via social media, stating, "The board of directors and Giancarlo Maldonado have agreed to end his link as technical director."

Under Maldonado's leadership, Anzoátegui struggled significantly in the Torneo Clausura, managing only one win, one draw, and three losses, accumulating just four points out of a possible fifteen. This places the team in twelfth position in the league standings.

His overall record with the club, spanning from mid-March to late August, included two victories, four draws, and seven defeats in thirteen matches across all competitions. The wins consisted of a league victory against Caracas and a Copa Venezuela triumph over Atlético Ávila. The Copa Venezuela campaign saw Maldonado's team lead their group with four points before the tournament's suspension due to earthquakes.
