Following the dismissal of Diego Aguirre from the technical command, Marcelo Fernandes took over as interim commander of Santos. In search of a new name, Peixe’s board of directors confirmed that the coach will remain on the sidelines until the team’s next duel for the Brasileirão.
The information was communicated on Thursday morning, during the players’ representation at coach Rei Pelé. Consequently, Marcelo Fernandes will be responsible for training the team until October 1, when Santos will face Vasco in Vila Belmiro, for the 26th matchday of the championship. the Brazilian championship.
Despite the retention of the assistant, the club continues negotiations to have a new coach in this final phase of the championship. The board is speaking with a coach, whose name has been kept confidential so as not to hinder a possible agreement.
However, if Santos does not find a new commander, the tendency is for Marcelo Fernandes to remain in charge until the end of the competition. This was not the initial plan, but it can be continued if the negotiations with the other technicians do not have a positive outcome.
What changed the minds of the Peixe management was the 2-1 victory over Bahia last Monday. The comeback triumph away from home boosted morale for Marcelo Fernandes, who is loved by the players and could get a vote of confidence from the board of directors.
Even with Salvador’s good result, Santos remained in the relegation zone of the Brazilian championship. The team’s situation is not good, occupying 17th place with only 24 points, one behind Bahia, in 16th place.
