Santos claims that coach Kleiton Lima received death threats after returning to the women’s team; Peixe will have an interim substitute
The Coach Kleiton Lima is no longer the commander of the women’s team Santos. After some protests held in the last days of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, the professional resigned from Peixe. In his place, Wesley Otoni takes over the position at the edge of the Sereias da Vila field on an interim basis.
Through a note released by Peixe, the club states that the measure was adopted by the coach himself, to preserve his family, his integrity and the team. As it was a completely personal decision, Santos accepted the request and reinforced that he trusts that the matter will be properly closed. According to the black and white player, since being hired, Kleiton has been criticized and even received death threats due to the accusations that were made last year.
The team also said that, even though it believes that Lima did not commit any of the acts he was accused of, the coach understands that the request for removal would be the best option to preserve all parties. Kleiton had left Santos in September last year, after several complaints from Santos players against him for moral and sexual harassment. According to “GE”, at least 19 anonymous letters reported a series of events involving the coach.
After an internal investigation, the team classified the allegations as fragile and invested in the coach’s return. During a press conference last Tuesday, the 9th, the commander denied the accusations. Santos’ decision outraged its athletes who recently played for the Mermaids. Many took a stance on social media against the speech of the team’s women’s football coordinator, Thais Picartethat players had been interviewed during the investigation carried out.
Last Friday, the 12th, “GE” aired another report now involving the former Santos coach and an athlete during Kleiton’s previous stint with the Sereias. In Lima’s relaunch, in the classic against Corinthians, the Timão players demonstrated with their hands over their ears and mouths.
