Juan Pablo Vojvoda Rizzo (born January 13, 1975) is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a central defender. He is the current head coach of Brazilian club Fortaleza.
Born in General Baldissera but raised in Cruz Alta, Vojvoda joined Newell's Old Boys' youth setup at the age of 14. [1] He made his senior debut with the main squad in 1995, and went on to feature regularly in the following seven seasons, never establishing himself as a regular starter.
In 2002 Vojvoda moved abroad, after signing for Segunda División side SD Compostela on loan for one year. [2] He stayed in the country for the following six seasons, representing Algeciras CF, [3] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa [4] and CD Baza. [5]
Vojvoda returned to his home country on 15 July 2009, joining Tiro Federal of the Primera B Nacional. [6] He subsequently played for Sportivo Belgrano [7] and Sarmiento de Leones, [8] retiring with the latter in 2013 at the age of 38.
Shortly after retiring Vojvoda took up coaching, being in charge of the youth categories of his first club Newell's. On 10 July 2015, he was named manager of the club's reserve side. [9] He was also an interim manager of the first team for two occasions: in 2016 [10] and in 2017. [11]
On 7 October 2017, Vojvoda was named manager of Defensa y Justicia. [12] He left the club on 28 May 2018, after receiving an offer from fellow league team Talleres de Córdoba. [13]
Vojvoda was announced as manager of Talleres on 28 May 2018, just hours after leaving Defensa. [14] On 23 May 2019, he agreed to leave the club on a mutual agreement. [15]
In May 2019, Vojvoda was appointed manager of Club Atlético Huracán for the 2019–20 season. [16] He was sacked on 15 September, after a 4–0 loss to River Plate and only one win in seven matches. [17]
Vojvoda took over Chilean Primera División side Unión La Calera on 30 December 2019. [18] He led the club to the second position of the 2020 Chilean Primera División, qualifying the club to the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their history.
On 18 February 2021, Vojvoda left La Calera on a mutual agreement. [19]
On 4 May 2021, Vojvoda was appointed head coach of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Fortaleza. [20] He won the first title of his career late in the month, as the club defeated rivals Ceará to lift the 2021 Campeonato Cearense. [21]
Vojvoda led Fortaleza to their first ever qualification to the Copa Libertadores, after finishing in an impressive fourth position in the 2021 Série A. [22] He lifted a second consecutive title of the Cearense in 2022, and also won the year's Copa do Nordeste. [23] [24]
Vojvoda led Fortaleza to a second consecutive Libertadores qualification after finishing eighth in the 2022 Série A, despite ending the first round of the tournament in the last position. [25] He renewed his contract with the club until 2024 on 18 November 2022, [26] and won the 2023 Campeonato Cearense, his fourth accolade while in charge of Leão. [27]
