Needing a win at Santos, Vojvoda faces old nemesis from his Fortaleza days | OneFootball

Santos faces Ceará this Sunday, in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is trying to turn good football into results, but he will have a thorn in his side ahead.

The coach led Fortaleza for four and a half seasons and has already faced Vozão several times. In total, there have been 24 matches, with only five wins for the Argentine, eight draws, and 11 losses. In other words, a success rate of 31.9%.

Vojvoda's last victory

Vojvoda's last triumph over Ceará was on April 1, 2023, when Leão overcame their biggest rival 2-1 at Arena Castelão, in the first leg of the Ceará State Championship final.

Rival of the dismissal

Since then, there have been nine encounters, with five draws and four losses. This year, he has already faced Ceará four times. The coach has suffered three defeats and one draw. It was precisely one of these setbacks that led to the dismissal of the Argentine from Fortaleza, in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.

New phase?

Now at Santos, Vojvoda meets Ceará again and tries to have better luck against the rival. Peixe needs to win to move away from the relegation zone. The São Paulo club saw the gap to Vitória, the first team inside the Z4, shrink in the last round.

Peixe enters the 27th round of the Brasileirão in 16th place, with 27 points, three more than Leão.
