SAO PAULO, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Veteran Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha has been appointed manager of Santos for the 2025 Brazilian football season, the club said on Monday.

Caixinha replaces Fabio Carille, who was sacked last month despite leading Santos to the Serie B title, securing the club's return to Brazil's top-flight.

"Pedro is already active in the execution and planning for 2025 and in defining the squad," Santos said in a statement.

Caixinha has been out of work since parting ways with Bragantino in October.

The 54-year-old began his managerial career in 1999 and his resume includes spells in charge of Santos Laguna, Glasgow Rangers and Talleres Cordoba, among other clubs.

Santos will begin the 2025 season on January 19 with an away fixture against Ponte Preta in the Paulista championship. Enditem
