Heitor Silva turns down Juazeirense
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Tempers go at Juazeirense
Rubert Quijada was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Wendel signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Wendel commits to Juazeirense for another 4 years.

One of our own: Juninho joins the Juazeirense first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Juninho is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market12 Oct 2026
The ambition of Wendel outgrows Juazeirense early
Signings arrive with a picture of the club in their head, and this one’s picture was bigger than the building. He will play well and he will be gone, in that order, and everybody knows it.

14 new faces, and Juazeirense are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The formation has left Wendel behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Juazeirense will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The manager makes an example of Guilherme Silva
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The manager has not finished forgetting Roberto Cavalcante's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
In brief
- Market Ray linked with a move away
- Looking ahead Looking ahead: Barcelona de Ilhéus at home
- The dugout Rubert Quijada keeps his manager's vote
