Santos endure longest winless run since Vojvoda arrived | OneFootball

Amid boos and protests from the fans, Santos drew 1-1 with São Paulo last Wednesday in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda heads into the next match under pressure, which will be against Noroeste at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) on Sunday.

Yesterday’s stumble extended a negative streak for the Argentine at the helm of Peixe. The Alvinegro Praiano has not won in seven matches, marking the longest winless streak since Vojvoda arrived at the club.

Uncomfortable drought

Since Vojvoda’s arrival in August 2025, the longest winless streak for Santos under his command had been five consecutive games without a win. At that time, between October 20 and November 15, 2025, Peixe lost to Vitória, Palmeiras, and Flamengo, and drew with Fortaleza and Botafogo.

The dry spell was broken with a 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at Vila Belmiro, when Benjamín Rollheiser scored in stoppage time.

Currently, the Alvinegro Praiano has not won since January 10, when they came from behind to beat Novorizontino at home, 2-1. Since then, there have been seven matches: four draws (Bragantino, Guarani, Corinthians, and São Paulo) and three losses (Palmeiras, Chapecoense, and São Paulo).

Before being dismissed by Fortaleza, the Argentine coach went nine games without a win.

Delicate situation

With two games left in the first phase of the Campeonato Paulista, Santos finds itself in a complicated situation. The Alvinegro Praiano could end the round in the relegation zone if they lose to Noroeste next Sunday and Velo Clube beats Red Bull Bragantino at home.
