Last Saturday, in a match of the sixth round of the Paulista Championship, Hernán Crespo led São Paulo to a victory against Santos for the second time in his career. The first was precisely in the coach's debut against Peixe in 2021, with a 4-0 win in the State Championship.

Hernán Crespo's two losses to Santos happened at Vila Belmiro, both in the Brazilian Championship. One was in 2021 (2-0), during his first stint with São Paulo, and the other in 2025 (1-0), upon his return to the team's command.

The only draw Hernán Crespo had against Santos also occurred in 2021, at Morumbi Stadium. On that occasion, São Paulo and Santos ended 1-1 in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brasileirão.
