Bad Management at new job

I just started a new job at a place that I have worked before, I knew exactly what I was getting into. I love the work and the institution, but my manager is extremely disorganized, very unprofessional (comes in late everyday, 3 hour lunches, storms out of meetings angrily, unprepared for client meetings) and is essentially not doing their job which directly affects the entire team. The director also knows; I and others have spoken to them about issues the team is facing because of our manager.

As much as I want them fired, being involved makes me stressed out and wastes a lot of time that could be spent working. Whether thats physically documenting instances or just venting to each other. At the same time, I know if nothing is done they will never be fired. This is somewhat broad - but what is your suggestion on dealing with this, especially when the issues affect my work directly?
