FIFA Orders Santos to Pay About R$13 Million to Ex-Coach Pedro Caixinha

An appeal window to CAS now keeps payment on hold.

Overview

  • The ruling covers compensation for Caixinha and indemnities for most of his staff, with the claim by assistant José Guilherme Oliveira dismissed.
  • Santos has 10 days to request clarifications and 21 days to file an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which suspends enforcement during the process.
  • Reports cite a 45‑day compliance period and a 5% annual interest provision if the decision is upheld.
  • During the proceedings, Santos secured a reduction of about R$1.4 million from the initial claim.
  • Club president Marcelo Teixeira publicly faulted former executive Pedro Martins for the contract, after Caixinha was dismissed in April following 16 matches and refused a negotiated exit.
