Vojvoda visits Santos’ Memorial das Conquistas, explores history | OneFootball

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is determined to learn every detail of the rich history of Santos Futebol Clube. This Thursday, the club released a video of the Argentine coach visiting the Peixe’s Memorial of Achievements, located at Vila Belmiro.

The video was posted by Santos on social media. Vojvoda was accompanied by president Marcelo Teixeira. The Argentine was even caught taking a photo of the statue of Pelé, the greatest idol of the Alvinegro Praiano and Brazilian football as a whole.

The Santos Memorial of Achievements was inaugurated on November 17, 2003, at Vila Belmiro. According to the club, more than 1 million people have already visited the site, which covers 380 m² and features unique and special spaces dedicated to idols such as Neymar and Pelé.

In his presentation at Santos, Vojvoda had highlighted the pride in leading the team that, one day, had Pelé defending its colors. With his visit to the Memorial of Achievements, he gets to know a bit more about the history of his new club.

“It is a source of pride for me and my family. My father spoke a lot about Pelé. It is an honor to work at a club like Santos. It’s a global brand. I will get to know it day by day, but already in my first conversation with Mattos [football executive], I felt something special with Santos,” he said at the press conference.

Vojvoda has already made his debut as Santos’ coach last Sunday, when the team drew 0-0 against Fluminense at Vila Belmiro, in the Brazilian Championship. Now, with the break for the FIFA date, the coach will have more time to better understand the characteristics of the squad.
