Neymar's Santos manager sacked with club close to relegation spots
"The former Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona forward drew Santos level after an early own-goal, but an injury-time winner by Johan Carbonero left Santos a point above the relegation zone."
"The Argentine did not even have time to attend his post-match news conference. He departs Santos with the club in a perilous position. Internacional's victory was their first in the Brazilian Serie A this season, and means Santos now sit just one point above them -- and the relegation zone -- with seven games played."
"Vojvoda replaced Cleber Xavier as Santos manager in August last year, with the club two points above the relegation zone, and oversaw a slight upturn in results which ended with the team finishing in 12th place. But Santos have struggled again this season, having won four and lost six of their 15 matches played in all competitions."
Juan Pablo Vojvoda was dismissed as Santos manager immediately following a 2-1 loss to Internacional on Wednesday. Despite Neymar equalizing an early own-goal, Internacional scored a late winner through Johan Carbonero. The defeat leaves Santos precariously positioned just one point above the relegation zone. Vojvoda was removed before attending his post-match press conference. The Argentine had replaced Cleber Xavier in August, initially stabilizing the club to finish 12th last season. However, Santos have struggled this campaign with four wins and six losses across 15 matches, including recent elimination from the Campeonato Paulista. The club has not yet announced a successor.
