Vitória confirms coach Jair Ventura will remain despite recent losses
Vitória president Fábio Mota has confirmed that coach Jair Ventura will remain in his position despite a recent four-game winless streak and elimination from the Copa do Brasil by Vasco.
Mota and football director Sérgio Papellin defended the squad, stating that the club's recent struggles are due to a small roster and numerous player injuries rather than internal disciplinary issues or financial problems. Mota emphasized that there is no ‘bad blood’ or lack of effort within the team.
The club is currently facing significant personnel shortages. Midfielders Baralhas and Martínez are expected to remain sidelined until the match against Cruzeiro on September 20. Additionally, left-back Ramon sustained a leg injury during the recent match against Vasco and is awaiting a full diagnosis. Vitória currently sits in 13th place in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
