Despite Santos’ poor start in 2026, the coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda remains prestigious at Peixe. Even with the increasing pressure for results, the possibility of dismissal is out of the question at this moment, thanks to the support of president Marcelo Teixeira. The information was initially published by the “Bolavip” website.
Peixe stumbled again after being defeated 2-0 by São Paulo, this Saturday (31/01), in a classic valid for the sixth round of Paulistão. As a result, criticism of Vojvoda’s work gained strength on social media. However, the board maintains full confidence in the coach. For Marcelo Teixeira, the moment requires calm, as the year is just beginning, and the expectation is for progress in the next matches.
So far, Santos has announced three signings for the season: Rony, who arrived permanently from Atlético-MG with a three-year contract, Gabriel Barbosa, signed on loan from Cruzeiro, and Gabriel Menino, also transferred by Atlético-MG in a negotiation that involved the departure of Victor Hugo.
This year, Santos has one victory in the opening game of the season, three draws and three defeats.
Vojvoda: contract period and salary
Vojvoda was hired by Santos in August last year, having signed a contract until December 2026. The coach’s salary is R$1.4 million per month.
There is no public information whether or not Vojvoda’s contract has the value of a termination fine.
