Cleber Xavier was at the helm of Santos in 15 games since April 29, with five wins, four draws, and six losses.

The former assistant of Tite in the Brazilian National Team, in his first "authorial work", came to replace Pedro Caixinha at Peixe.

Under his command, Santos was eliminated by CRB in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil after two draws and a penalty shootout loss.

Who takes over?

Juan Pablo Vojvoda and Jorge Sampaoli are the coaches who have the appreciation of president Marcelo Teixeira.

Vojvoda is free in the market since July 14 after a long stint at the helm of Fortaleza.

Meanwhile, Sampaoli, with a history at Peixe, had Rennes, from France, as his last club. He was there for only ten games until his dismissal on January 30.
