Santos lost 6-0 to Vasco with Neymar crying and everything. What a shame. This team is a serious relegation candidate. Is there any Santos supporter around here?
I'm not a Santos fan, but I think this defeat was a great humiliation and from what I see, it wasn't just Neymar who felt pain with this defeat, the club's management also seems to have felt pain and that's why they took the decision to fire the coach.
“The club thanks the coach for the services provided,” Santos said of Xavier, who only took over in April, “and wishes him luck in the continuation of his career.”

Who will have the courage to become Santos' coach?
I saw on some Brazilian channels that they are talking about some names as possible candidates to be Santos' coach, they talk about names like Tite, Vojvoda or Sampaoli. According to what I read, the Santos board wants to hire a coach early, before the next round's game, Sampaoli is being seen as the main favorite and it seems he is willing to accept the position as long as the club hires at least 2 new players to make the team strong. I believe that the Santos board would give in to this condition, because I doubt they will want to concede 3 goals again.
