Santos FC legal and financial disputes

Overview

Santos FC has faced multiple legal and financial rulings regarding its management and contractual obligations.

A civil court in Santos ordered former president José Carlos Peres to reimburse the club R$ 52,054.46 after an audit identified irregular personal expenses, such as groceries and fuel, incurred during his 2018 to 2020 administration. The court characterized these as “unjust enrichment,” though Peres has filed an appeal.

Separately, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ordered the club to pay approximately $2.8 million to former manager Pedro Caixinha and his staff following contract terminations in April 2025. This ruling upholds a previous FIFA decision, and failure to comply may result in FIFA sanctions, including a potential transfer ban.
