Rio De Janeiro: Santos has made an offer to sign Thiago Carpini as their new head coach, as they seek a swift return to Brazilian football's top tier, according to widespread media reports.

Carpini is currently the manager of Juventude, whom he guided to second in the Serie B standings this year, a result that secured promotion to the Serie A, reports Xinhua.

The 39-year-old is tied to Juventude until December 2024 but Santos is willing to meet the terms of a release clause in his contract, news outlet Uol said on Tuesday.
