Santos also had a caretaker in their last match at Fonte Nova, remember | OneFootball

This Sunday, with Matheus Bachi, Santos faces Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. It will be the second consecutive time that Peixe visits the tricolors with an interim coach.

On September 18, 2023, the last time the Paulistas played at the venue, Marcelo Fernandes was responsible for directing the alvinegra team. On that occasion, he replaced the dismissed Diego Aguirre.

And the outcome of the game, valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship, was positive for Santos. The visitors even fell behind, after a goal from Camilo Cándido, but they reacted and sought the turnaround. Marcos Leonardo tied at the 28th minute of the second half and Julio Furch scored at the 49th.

Despite the victory, the Alvinegro Praiano ended up being relegated at the end of the Brasileirão.

Almost two years later, therefore, Peixe returns to Arena Fonte Nova, again with an interim. This time, Matheus Bachi will be on the bench, as Cleber Xavier was dismissed. The board has already announced Vojvoda, but the Argentine has not yet debuted.

The ball rolls on the Fonte Nova pitch, in Salvador, from 4 pm (Brasília time), for the 21st round of Series A.

The Alvinegro Praiano is in the 15th position of the Brasileirão, with 21 points, two more than Vitória, the first team within the relegation zone. Bahia, on the other hand, is in fourth place, with 33.
