Neymar in tears as biggest career loss sees Santos manager sacked
Neymar was left in tears after Santos' 6-0 league defeat by Vasco da Gama which led to head coach Cleber Xavier being sacked. Xavier had been in charge for only 15 games after being appointed early on in the 2025 season on April 29 but the club announced his departure on their social media after their loss to the league's 16th-placed team. Advertisement The loss was the heaviest of Neymar's career as former Liverpool midfielder Phillipe Coutinho scored twice to give Vasco their biggest league win in 17 years. Santos fans turned their backs to protest the head coach and result — leaving them hovering above the relegation zone — while many others had left the stadium by the time the sixth goal went in. 'I'm completely disappointed with our game,' Neymar said to media after the game, per Globo. 'The fans have the right to protest in all sorts of ways, obviously without physical violence. But cursing and insulting people today is perfectly acceptable. I feel incredibly ashamed; I've never experienced anything like this in my life. 'I'm crying out of anger, at everything. Unfortunately, I can't help in every way. Today was terrible, that's the reality.' Neymar chora após Santos 0 x 6 Vasco. — ge (@geglobo) August 17, 2025 Neymar, 33, extended his contract with boyhood side Santos until December after an initial six-month spell following his exit from Al Hilal in January. He has made 11 appearances and scored three so far in the 2025 season, which started in March, but his injury issues have persisted. Neymar only played seven times during his 18-month spell with Al Hilal, after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his left knee while playing for Brazil in October 2023. This season, he has also missed seven league games with a hamstring problem. Brazil's all-time top scorer joined Barcelona as a 21-year-old in 2013 and scored 105 goals over four seasons before leaving for Paris-Saint Germain for a world-record €222million fee. He won two La Liga titles, a Champions League, three Copa del Reys with the Catalan side before helping PSG to five Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de France victories and four Trophees des Champions. Santos are 15th of 20 in Brazil's Serie A after 19 games but are now only two points ahead of Vasco, who have a game in hand. Spot the pattern.

Santos fires coach and Neymar in tears after 6-0 loss at home
SAO PAULO (AP) — Santos fired its coach, Cleber Xavier, after a 6-0 home loss Sunday to Vasco Da Gama that saw Neymar leave the field in tears after the match. 'The club thanks the coach for the services provided,' Santos said of Xavier, who only took over in April, 'and wishes him luck in the continuation of his career.' The result left Santos — famously the club of Brazil great Pele and now Neymar — in 15th place in the 20-team Brazilian top flight, two points above the relegation zone. Neymar was consoled on the field by a member of Santos' backroom staff after a game that saw Vasco's Philippe Coutinho score twice. The 33-year-old Neymar, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star, returned to his boyhood club in January after an underwhelming spell in Saudi Arabia and signed a contract extension in June keeping him at Santos until the end of the year. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press
