No time? blue Sport summarizes for you
- FC Santos was relegated to Brazil's second division a year ago.
- Now the club has managed to climb back up to the top division.
FC Santos has done it: after just one year in the second division, the club has returned to Brazil's top league. Two match days before the end of the season, the promotion of the former club of football legends such as Pelé and Neymar is secured.
In December last year, just one year after the death of Pelé, Santos experienced a historic low point when the club was relegated to the second division for the first time in its 111-year history. However, the club has now made an impressive comeback and can no longer be displaced from one of the four promotion places.
The return to the top division marks an important milestone for Santos, which is not only significant in sporting terms, but also emotionally. The club, which is known for its rich history and outstanding players, has proven that it can survive even in difficult times.
