Santosโค fans voiced their discontent withโ manager Pablo Vojvoda followingโฃ a 1-1 draw against Paysandu on โSeptemberโ 28, โค2024, at the โEstรกdio da Vila Belmiro in Santos, Brazil. Supporters displayed banners and chanted slogans โคcriticizing the teamSโค performance under Vojvoda,โค drawing comparisons-and aโ pointed contrast-to the expectations associated with European football giantsโค like barcelona.
The draw โขextended Santos’ winless streak to six matches in theโค Sรฉrie B, intensifying pressure on the Argentine coach who tookโข the helm in April 2024. Frustrated fans lamented the team’s struggles to secure a victory, signaling โa growing lack of confidence in Vojvoda’s ability to lead the club back to the Sรฉrie A. Banners seen at the stadium read, “It’sโข not Barcelona,”โค a direct โขmessageโฃ to the manager regarding the current level of play.
The stalemate against Paysandu came afterโ a period of underperformance, including a 3-0 defeat to Brusque on September 24, 2024, andโ a 1-1โฃ draw with โChapecoense on September 21,โฃ 2024. Santos currently sitsโ in โ12th place in โฃtheโค Sรฉrie โB table with 36 points, โฃseven points outside the promotion playoff spots. The club, historicallyโ one of Brazil’s most โฃaccomplished,โฃ was relegated to the Sรฉrie B in December 2023 โfor โฃthe first time in โขits history. โVojvoda, previouslyโ managing Juventude, was brought in to orchestrate an immediate return to the top flight.
