Oliveira is Santos' coach

SAO PAULO, JAN 2. Some of Brazil's top soccer clubs, including defending champion Santos, will be led by new coaches in the 2005 season.

Santos became the latest club to change its coaching staff, signing Oswaldo de Oliveira to replace Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who took over Real Madrid.

One of Brazil's most successful coaches, Oliveira led Corinthians to the national title in 1999 and the FIFA Club World championship in 2000.

He had previously coached Vasco, Fluminense and Sao Paulo.

Oliveira, who was Luxemburgo's assistant in Santos in 1997, was without a team since being fired from Corinthians after a disappointing stint at the beginning of the 2004 season.

Flamengo, Brazil's most popular club, 2003 Brazilian championship winner Cruzeiro and former Copa Libertadores champion Gremio are among the clubs with new coaches. — PTI
