Santos' return to series A and plans for changes in 2025

After ensuring their return to the elite of Brazilian football, Santos is now focusing all their energy on preparing for the next season. With renewed enthusiasm, the club is determined to regain its prominent place, and the fans are eagerly awaiting a performance that lives up to the team's tradition. Peixe is confident that this return will be an important milestone in the restructuring and strengthening of the team.

Club performance

Santos started the Série B season with confidence, and many believed that the path would be smooth. However, after six matches, the team faced difficult and challenging clashes. The complication worsened in the seventh round, with four consecutive defeats, which made the situation even more difficult for Peixe.

Faced with this scenario, the team came together to react, and after a crucial victory over Goiás, they maintained their focus and began an impressive recovery, winning ten important victories. It was a long journey, but, with a lot of effort, the team managed to guarantee their definitive return to the elite of Brazilian football.

Leading the table with a 61.9% success rate, Santos is now looking to the future. With a place in Serie A guaranteed, the club is focusing its efforts on performing effectively in the 2025 season, in addition to seeking a major signing to further strengthen the squad and continue its ascension.

Plans and changes

The Santos squad will undergo some important changes for the next season. Players like Alison, Pedrinho, Laquintana and Renan will not be viable options for the club due to the issue of use, which opens up space for new signings. Serie A, now guaranteed, awakens the desire to reinforce the team with a strong name, a star capable of adding to the team and contributing to the club's evolution.

The fans, always passionate about the history of Santos, have great expectations regarding the possibility of Neymar's return. However, club directors avoid confirming any information so as not to create false hopes among fans.

Furthermore, the Vila Belmiro stadium will undergo significant renovations. The prospects indicate that the renovation will be carried out next year, and if it happens, the stadium will be rebuilt from scratch. As a result, Santos will need to play elsewhere, and the choice of Pacaembu as the team's temporary home is being considered.

Finally, coach Carille's future is still a big unknown. Although the club achieved its much-desired return to Serie A, speculation about the coach's departure is becoming increasingly strong, with a large part of the board expressing their desire not to renew his contract.
