Santos lose two coaching staff members after Tite’s return to football | OneFootball

Santos suffered two losses in its permanent coaching staff following Tite’s return to football and the coach’s agreement with Cruzeiro, which was announced this Tuesday.

The Alvinegro Praiano lost assistant coach Matheus Bachi, Tite’s son, and fitness coach Fabio Mahseredjian. Both had contracts with Santos only until the end of this season and will join Tite’s coaching staff at Cruzeiro starting next year.

Matheus Bachi and Fabio Mahseredjian arrived at Santos as members of Cléber Xavier’s coaching staff. However, the Santos board decided to keep both professionals even after the head coach was dismissed in July this year, following the heavy defeat to Vasco.

The assistant coach even stood on the sidelines and led the team in the 2-0 loss to Bahia at Fonte Nova, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. That was Peixe’s last match before hiring Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

Even after Vojvoda’s arrival, both Matheus Bachi and Fabio Mahseredjian remained at Santos. However, the two will now follow in Tite’s footsteps at Cruzeiro, as announced by the Minas Gerais club this Tuesday. The coach signed a contract with Raposa until the end of 2026.

“Along with the coach come assistants Matheus Bachi and Vinicius Bergantin, as well as fitness coach Fábio Mahseredjian,” Cruzeiro confirmed on social media.

With their departures, Vojvoda’s coaching staff at Santos now consists of assistants Nahuel Martínez and Gastón Liendo, fitness coaches Luis Azpiazu, Tulio Flores, Ricardo Rosa, and William Basso, goalkeeping coaches Santiago Piccinini, Rogério Maia, and Denis Gago, and performance analysts Raphael Barletta, Gabriel Soares, and Felipe Lopes.
