An epic bottle job saw Santos Futebol Clube hand the Série A title to Flamengo, only to impressively recover their nerve and win their second Copa Libertadores of the Robinho Lazaró reign. Heading into 2036, Lazaró was fully focused on regaining the Brazilian league crown in what he planned to be his final season at Santos.
Santos Futebol Clube departed their 114-year home Vila Belmiro on a high, winning the club's first-ever league and cup double before an exciting move to a brand-new stadium for the 2031 campaign. But that success saw the pressure ramp up on manager Robinho Lazaró.
Santos FC suffered a fairly unsurprising dropoff in 2029 as they backed up a first Brazilian title in 24 years by dropping to a 6th-place finish, 25 points behind champions Palmeiras. But manager Robinho Lazaró was choosing to remain optimistic given the talent they had coming through the ranks.
Rapidly improving youngsters led Santos a first top-5 finish under Robinho Lazaró and the Copa Libertadores semis in 2027. They also dominated the awards for best young players, which proved the serious amount of potential at the club.
