This player is better known as Pele.. This player, along with players like Coutinho and Pepe, make up the Golden Age of Santos. Santos became extremely popular winning 6 Brazilian championships, the Copa Libertadores twice, and increasing its popularity on a worldwide scale playing in several exhibition matches.
The Golden age ended at the same time that Pele retired from Santos in 1974. Santos still won 3 championships but their popularity decreased drastically. The renaissance of Santos started when the President of the club Marcelo Teixeira spent millions on expensive players, changed the way of management, strengthened and gave chance to the upcoming youths and hired Emerson Leao as coach. This rehabilitation of Santos worked very well, with Santos reaping the fruit of their hard work in the recent years, developing talents like Robinho, Diego, Elano and Renato. All these players moved on to play in European football, increasing revenue for Santos FC. Santos still managed to win the national league in 2002 and 2004.
