Vojvoda leads Santos bid to end “Jekyll and Hyde” form in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Santos debuts its new coach this Sunday. Juan Pablo Vojvoda begins his journey at the helm of Peixe in the match against Fluminense, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, with the mission of ending the team’s “bipolarity” in the Brazilian Championship.

In 15th place, with 21 points, Santos could fall into the relegation zone this weekend if Vasco and Vitória win their matches against Sport and Atlético-MG, respectively.

Santos’ ordeal this season is largely due to their inconsistency in the Brazilian Championship. The same team that defeated the all-powerful Flamengo, the leader of the competition, is the one that was thrashed 6-0 by Vasco, who, like Peixe, are also fighting against relegation.

The same team that beat Cruzeiro, a contender for the Brazilian title, at Mineirão, is the one that hasn’t managed to go more than three matches without losing since the end of the Paulista Championship.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who until recently was the coach of Fortaleza, even tasted Santos’ venom, suffering a 3-2 defeat at Castelão. A sign of Peixe’s strength, which, even with quality players, has not managed to achieve the desired consistency.

This Sunday, the Argentine coach will have the huge responsibility of leading the turnaround of a team that returned to Série A of the Brazilian Championship last season and now faces the real risk of having to play once again in the dreaded Série B, something that until a few years ago was unimaginable.
