Santos played again this Friday (03), at CT Rei Pelé, where the players had their first contact with the new coach, the Portuguese Pedro Caixinha. He signed a contract for two seasons and arrived at the club accompanied by assistants Pedro Malta and José Pratas, physical trainer Guilherme Gomes and goalkeeping coach José Belman.
Furthermore, a welcome meeting was held between the new technical committee, president Marcelo Teixeira and CEO Pedro Martins. During the meeting, themes such as identity, unity and modernity were addressed, strengthening the alignment of objectives for the season.
The day, however, was not only marked by positive news. The club announced the dismissal of important professionals, such as Alexandre Gallo, football coordinator; Marcelo Fernandes, technical assistant; Carlito Macedo, physical trainer; and Arzul, goalkeeping coach. These changes, therefore, highlight a significant reformulation in the football department.
However, players have also started to adapt to the changes. Defender Luan Peres, for example, commented on the arrival of the new commander in Peixe and took the opportunity to welcome him.
“It’s a year of renewal for Santos, returning to a place we should never have left. We have a new coach, with modern characteristics and intensity of play. This is important nowadays. This is the aspect that Santos must have: a team that plays in attack, with the intensity that they have already shown us in the video, I am sure that they will be able to do it and, starting from today, we will have a successful year”, he said. said the defender.
Santos returned to the national elite
Finally, Santos is preparing to face important challenges in 2025. The club returns to the elite of the Brazilian league and will also compete in the Copa do Brasil. Furthermore, they will face the Campeonato Paulista, a tournament they have not won since 2016. Their debut will be against Mirassol on January 16, marking the start of a season that promises to be decisive for the future of the club.
