Santos target ex-Flamengo player for remainder of Brasileirão | OneFootball

Tite was fired by Cruzeiro last Sunday (15)

Santos has not dismissed coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, but continues to monitor the market in case a new manager is needed. As such, the team led by Neymar has put Tite, former Flamengo coach, on its list of targets.

According to information from ESPN Brasil, Tite and Cuca are highly regarded internally by the Santos board. Therefore, the São Paulo club is looking at experienced names, and the former Flamengo and Brazil National Team coach is the most likely candidate at the moment.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda is under pressure at Santos and could be fired if there is another defeat. This is because the São Paulo team faces Internacional this Wednesday (18), in the Brasileirão. Thus, in case of a negative result, the Argentine could be let go.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION AT SANTOS?

Santos is having a season below expectations. This is because the team led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda was eliminated in the first knockout round of the Campeonato Paulista. Finally, it occupies only 14th place in the Brasileirão, close to the relegation zone.

AND WHAT ABOUT TITE?

Even after winning the Campeonato Mineiro, Tite was fired by Cruzeiro. The Belo Horizonte club announced the departure of the coach last Sunday (15), after a 3-3 draw against Vasco at Mineirão. Thus, the coach from Rio Grande do Sul is now free to sign with another team.

DID TITE COACH FLAMENGO?

Tite coached Flamengo in 2023 and 2024, when he was fired in October and replaced by Filipe Luís. However, the coach had a poor record at Mais Querido, even though he won the Campeonato Carioca.

This is because Tite's Flamengo had poor campaigns in the Campeonato Brasileiro. In addition, the red-and-black team was eliminated early in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores by Peñarol (URU). They lost at Maracanã and drew in Uruguay.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Now, with Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. Mais Querido faces Remo this Thursday (19), at 8pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the seventh round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
