Teixeira hopeful despite Santos relegation fears in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Even with Santos on the brink of the relegation zone, president Marcelo Teixeira is calm. The leader stated that he is not worried about a possible drop to Serie B of the Brazilian Championship.

"I don't have this concern. I am very hopeful, given the squad that Santos has. It's a transition process, a job for us to achieve the goal of the year, which is the dispute of an international competition in 2026," he told TV Record.

At the moment, the Alvinegro Praiano is in the 16th position of the Brasileirão, with 28 points, three more than Vitória, which opens the relegation zone.

Santos has another 12 matches to play until the end of the tournament. Marcelo Teixeira hired Juan Pablo Vojvoda to lead the team in this final stretch of the year. The coach has six games, with four draws, one win, and one loss.

Repeated movie?

The Peixe fell to Serie B in 2023, after losing to Fortaleza, right at Vila Belmiro, in the last round of that edition. In September of that year, in fact, Andres Rueda, then president of the club, adopted a similar speech to that of Marcelo Teixeira.

"This hypothesis does not exist in my head. Santos will not fall," he told Rádio Bandeirantes.

Santos ended with 43 points, one less than Bahia, the first team outside the Z4. In December of the same year, Rueda's term ended.
