Santos have the second-worst Brasileirão start this century, see more | OneFootball

Santos drew 0-0 with Cruzeiro last weekend at Mineirão, in the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, and recorded one of its worst starts in the national competition.

With seven points in eight matches, Santos’ current situation is the club’s second worst of the century, behind only 2025. Last year, the Alvinegro Praiano began the Brasileirão with seven points in seven games.

Both campaigns are worse than in 2024, the year Santos were relegated. That season, the Alvinegro Praiano started the Brazilian Championship with 11 points from the first seven rounds.

In this Brazilian Championship, Santos won only in the third round, on February 26, when they beat Vasco at Vila Belmiro. Since then, they have had three draws and one defeat.

The poor performance led to Vojvoda’s dismissal and Cuca’s arrival. The Alvinegro Praiano’s new coach will have to make the most of the break for the FIFA international window to adjust the team and spark a turnaround in the Brazilian Championship.
