Iconic Brazilian club Santos, and cradle of late football legend Pele, were relegated to the second division on Wednesday for the first time in their history.
Santos suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Fortaleza in their final league match of the season, sealing their fate as the last of the four teams condemned to the “B Series” league next year.
The home of Pele and Neymar finished their lackluster season in 17th place, on 43 points.
