What is Vitória's new signing for this season?

Vitória introduced new additions to the Football Department for the 2025 season. Last Wednesday (03), the team from Bahia announced the signing of Cléber dos Santos as the new assistant coach for the main squad.

In a press conference, Fábio Mota, president of Vitória, confirmed Rodrigo Chagas as head coach and, subsequently, introduced Cléber dos Santos as a member of the new coaching staff. Thus, the professional returns to work after leaving Flamengo at the start of the season.

DID CLÉBER DOS SANTOS REPLACE FILIPE LUÍS AT FLAMENGO?

Cléber dos Santos was hired by Flamengo in October 2024, the same time Filipe Luís left the under-20 team to take over the professional squad. Thus, Cléber became the immediate replacement for the current head coach of the main Mengão team.

It’s important to note that Cléber dos Santos also ended up replacing Filipe Luís in the 2025 season, this time with the professional team. That’s because, while the main squad was in pre-season in the United States, he was the one who managed the alternate Rubro-Negro squad in the first matches of the Campeonato Carioca.

WHEN DID CLÉBER DOS SANTOS LEAVE FLAMENGO?

As soon as Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) took over the presidency of Flamengo, some internal changes were made at the club. Among these changes, Cléber dos Santos ended up being dismissed from his position as coach of Flamengo’s under-20 team.

WHEN WILL CLÉBER DOS SANTOS MAKE HIS DEBUT FOR VITÓRIA?

Cléber dos Santos is expected to make his debut for Vitória on September 13 (Saturday), when the team faces Fortaleza in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match will kick off at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Castelão Stadium.
