Behind the scenes: Santos fined for Paulo Turra's dismissal, but Falcão did not compensate for his departure
Paulo Roberto Falcão was the first 'strong man' of Santos football during the administration of current president Andrés Rueda, who had a termination penalty in his contract. However, this amount was not charged when the manager resigned from the sable club last Thursday (3). However, the black and white club had to pay this compensation to formalize the departure of coach Paulo Turra three days later.

According to the former director of Santos, the decision to leave the black and white club was to preserve the institution's image amid protests from fans over the team's poor performance on the field. However, these protests against the professional took place at least two months ago. Santos, therefore, stopped receiving R$1.25 million when the coordinator left. The amount corresponds to their salaries agreed until the end of the contract, which would end in December. The practice of the current Santos board of formalizing ties with termination fines began precisely with Falcão and the first coach chosen by the then sports coordinator, who was Odair Hellmann. Until then, the Santos board signed contracts in the CLT format, both with coordinators and technicians. + Watch the Brasileirão! Subscribe to Prime Video and follow all your favorite team's games! Odair and Falcão, hired by Santos at the end of last year, are no longer at the club (Photo: Ivan Storti/Santos FC) The change in attitude was a mixture of confidence in the football department formed for this season and 'an attempt to protect against episodes such as the appointment of Newton Drummond, Chumbinho and coach Lisca, at the end of last year, who stayed at the club for a short time and left after internal disagreements. But if Santos waived the fine it was entitled to receive in relation to Falcão, the club took on the responsibilities of Paulo Turra, dismissed from Santos' coaching staff last Sunday (6). The contract with the professional provided for the payment of three salaries, corresponding to a value between R$1 and 1.25 million. Exactly what is ‘forgiven’ in relation to Falcão. Odair Hellmann, who managed the team until June, also received compensation for his dismissal. In this case, salaries were expected to be paid until the end of the contract, which ended in December, which, with some costs, would be equivalent to approximately R$4 million. The parties reached an agreement for Santos to pay a slightly lower amount.
