Neymar's father has been named chief executive officer of Santos, the Brazilian club announced on Friday. The appointment places him in charge of the club's strategic direction, marking a significant off-field development for the historic São Paulo side.
The move comes as Santos seek to stabilize their administration and sporting project. Neymar's father, who has long managed his son's career, now assumes a formal leadership role at the club where the Brazilian superstar began his professional career.
The announcement was made on November 6, 2026, with the club emphasizing his responsibility for overall strategy.
