O Fortaleza lost for the fourth game in a row in the season, in a 3-2 loss to Santos at Arena Castelão, and the coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda was the target of criticism of Lion fans on social networks. However, despite the complicated moment, the Argentine should not be fired in the short term.
“Every beginning of the year the team plays bad”
“Vojvoda will go around, as always did”
“I trust Vojvoda’s work”
It is not possible that there are those who defend you in Fortaleza yet. How long will the crowd be in this narrative?
Vojvoda has to leave Fortaleza!

Today I officially adhered to the Outar Vojvoda. It’s a good, polite and righteous guy, but it has become a technician without creativity, boldness and no discernment.

The indicative of the validity for the vote of confidence in Vojvoda was given by Fortaleza CEO, Marcelo Paz, on June 1, when Fortaleza was beaten by Flamengo 5-0 at Maracanã. At the time, Marcelo gave a news conference and said that Vojvoda would be in Lion training during the Brasileirão Parade for the Club World Cup, until July 12:
– He is a professional who has won many things with Fortaleza, we have overcome many difficult times with him. He knows the club. The fan respects the work of Vojvoda. Plotted everyone is, but I bring this responsibility to me. The work remains. Vojvoda is a professional with all capacity, along with our support, along with some arrivals and exits. The stop for the Club World Cup will be very beneficial.

With the defeat, Fortaleza falls to 18th place in Brasileirão, within the relegation zone, having only ten points in 12 matches.
In favor of Vojvoda, it positively weighs that Fortaleza is classified to the round of 16 of Libertadores and the quarterfinals of the Northeast Cup.
Fortaleza’s next game will be on July 12 or 13, a classic against Ceará, at Arena Castelão, for the 13th round of Brasileirão.
