Paysandu management overhaul after failed promotion

Overview

Following its failed promotion bid, Paysandu is undergoing a significant management overhaul as it prepares for the 2027 season. The club has confirmed the departure of several key football executives, including director Alberto Maia, manager Vandick Lima, and executive Marcelo Sant’Ana. Sant’Ana, who previously led the team to a triple crown including the Campeonato Paraense, Copa Norte, and Copa Verde, departs following stalled contract negotiations.

Club president Márcio Tuma stated the organization is seeking a new executive profile aligned with the board’s financial reality and a commitment to long-term stability and youth categories. This restructuring follows a turbulent period in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. After a strong start, the team struggled during the decisive quadrangular stage, leading to the dismissal of head coach Júnior Rocha in September 2026.

His successor, Mazola Júnior, also saw his contract non-renewed after failing to secure promotion to Série B. During the final stages of the competition, Paysandu's promotion hopes were briefly revitalized by a 1-0 victory over Ferroviária, but the campaign ended in controversy. A decisive match against Brusque was suspended due to structural safety concerns at Arena Simon, involving an unstable metal grandstand and a moving VAR camera tower. The incident triggered a Civil Police investigation into the stadium's technical compliance. Paysandu also repudiated alleged xenophobic remarks made toward northern Brazilian fans during the event.

In the aftermath, the club contested decisions made by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) regarding match scheduling and infrastructure issues. To stabilize the technical department for 2027, Paysandu has appointed Ricardo Drubscky to lead its football department.
