Overview

• Santos sits 15th in the Brasileirão on 21 points and just two clear of the relegation zone, with recent reports of fan intimidation adding to the strain.
• Vojvoda signed through the end of 2026 after a 6-0 loss to Vasco da Gama led to Cléber Xavier’s dismissal and a brief interim stint for Matheus Bachi.
• In his presentation, Vojvoda called Neymar “the solution” and said his aim is to help the forward regain joy and decisiveness on the field.
• Neymar is recovering from a right‑thigh edema and was left out of Brazil’s September squad by Carlo Ancelotti.
• Santos is pursuing defensive reinforcements, with a reported one‑year loan for Inter’s Tomás Palacios that includes an option to buy slightly above €10 million, and Vojvoda’s debut is scheduled for Sunday against Fluminense at Vila Belmiro.
