⚠️ Juan Pablo Vojvoda is no longer Santos manager | OneFootball

Juan Pablo Vojvoda is no longer the coach of Santos.

The 51-year-old Argentine coach left the command of Peixe early Thursday morning (19th).

Decision made after the defeat to Internacional at Vila Belmiro.

His contract was set to last until December of this year.

The 2026 season for Santos consists of four victories (against Novorizontino, Noroeste, Velo Clube, and Vasco), six draws, and six losses.

They reached the quarter-finals of the Paulistão by qualifying in the last round, but were eliminated by Novorizontino.

And they are having a poor Brasileirão. They have only six points and could enter the relegation zone in the completion of the seventh round.

Salvation with excitement in BR-2025

Vojvoda was announced by Santos on August 22 of last year.

After a failed negotiation with Sampaoli, he was chosen to replace Cléber Xavier - who was dismissed after the 6-0 defeat to Vasco at MorumBIS.

He came from a long and successful tenure at Fortaleza.

The mission was to keep Peixe in the top tier of the Brasileirão.

There were only three victories in the first 13 games - and only against the capital's rivals.

But the surge that began against Palmeiras, in a postponed match of the 13th round, was enough for Santos to secure their place in the top tier by accumulating 47 points.
