Two defeats in a row sentenced Lisca, who has not even been on the ‘Peixe’ bench for two months
The great goal of Santos, who continues to dream of qualifying for the Libertadores, is the Argentine Sebastián Beccacece
Lisca’s stage, surnamed as ‘Doido’ (crazy), in Santos has been limited to less than two months in charge, in which he has only directed eight league games. The consecutive defeats against Goiás and Ceará in the Brasileirao have ended with the patience of the management of the São Paulo club that has already set to work to find a new coach in this final stretch of the season in South America.
For now, the coach of the U-20 team, Orlando Ribeiro, will take charge of the ‘Peixe’ on an interim basis with his sights set on next Sunday’s derby at the Allianz Parque, against Palmeiras, that he is the leader of the Brasileirao alone with an eight-point advantage over Internacional, corresponding to matchday 27.
The great objective of the club is the Argentine Sebastián Beccacece, who was fired this Sunday by Defense and Justice. President, Andrew Wheel, has not yet come into contact with one of the most promising coaches in South American football. Contacts will begin in the next few hours.
Lisca’s career at ‘Peixe’ has been very disappointing: there are two wins, three draws and three losses at the Brasileirao. The Vila Belmiro team has only added one point from the last twelve at stake. It is tenth in the standings, but still maintains the goal of qualifying among the top eight to be able to play, at least, the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores de América 2023.
Santos, who started the year under the direction of the Argentine Fabián Bustos (from Barcelona, from Guayaquil), has a very disappointing 2022. He was first eliminated in the Paulista Championship in the group stage; he fell in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana against Deportivo Táchira; he was beaten by Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil and, in the Brasileirao, he has never taken flight.
