Santos has a new coach. After the dismissal of Cléber Xavier, Peixe announced this Friday the Argentine Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who led Fortaleza for about four seasons. However, for the match against Bahia this Sunday, in the Brasileirão, Alvinegro Praiano will be managed by assistant coach Matheus Bachi.
Bachi arrived at Santos this year, together with Cléber Xavier’s staff, who previously worked regularly with Tite. However, even after the head coach was dismissed last Sunday, he was kept at Peixe and led training sessions with the squad this week.
Vojvoda, in turn, will arrive at Santos to make his debut on August 31, Sunday, when the São Paulo team will host Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship. Thus, for the match against the team from Rio, the Argentine will have a full week to implement his ideas with the squad.
Vojvoda comes to Santos to replace Cleber Xavier. The coach was dismissed from Peixe after a 6-0 defeat to Vasco, at Morumbis, in the Brazilian Championship.
The Argentine coach had been without a club since leaving Fortaleza in July of this year. He led Leão do Pici for four years and was let go after a negative streak this season. In total, he had 144 wins, 77 draws, and 88 losses in 309 matches.
