Juan Pablo Vojvoda is no longer the head coach of Fortaleza, ending his tenure that began in May 2021. The decision to part ways followed a poor run of results for the team this season. Under Vojvoda's leadership, Fortaleza achieved a 55% win rate and secured five trophies, including three Cearense titles and two Copa do Nordeste championships. He also led the club to three Copa Libertadores appearances, a first in Fortaleza's history. The club released an open letter expressing gratitude for Vojvoda's contributions, describing him as "much more than a coach." His departure was marked by an emotional farewell from fans and players at the Centro de Excelência Alcides Santos. Following Vojvoda's exit, Fortaleza has moved quickly to appoint Renato Paiva, a Portuguese coach recently dismissed by Botafogo, as the new head coach. Paiva's recent career included a historic victory over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup before his departure from Botafogo. The coaching change comes after Fortaleza's 1-0 defeat to Ceará in the Brasileirão, which contributed to Vojvoda's dismissal.
