Fortaleza had already “turned the page” after Juan Pablo Vojvoda turned down an offer to return to Laion.
But the 51-year-old Argentine coach changed his mind, contacted the board and agreed to take charge for the three remaining Série B matches.

And the “detail” is that he will not insist on being paid, according to ESPN. There is not even any certainty that he will stay on next season.
One of the greatest coaches in the club’s history, he returns with the mission of taking Laion back to the top flight.
Vojvoda and his coaching staff are expected to arrive in Ceará’s capital on Wednesday morning (11).
Fortaleza have already secured a place in the Série B playoffs, where they will face Criciúma for a spot in next year’s Série A.
All that remains to be decided is which team will host each leg, which will be determined after the competition’s 38th and final round.

Tigre (4th) and Laion (5th) are level on 62 points, with the Santa Catarina side ahead on wins (18 to 16).
On Saturday (14), Tricolor face Vila Nova at Castelão, hoping to overtake Criciúma, who will host Novorizontino.
The other playoff tie will pit Juventude or Vila Nova against the sixth-placed team, which could be CRB, Goiás or Atlético-GO.
Only leaders Novorizontino have already secured promotion to the top flight. The second automatic promotion spot will go to either Juventude or Vila.
