Alessandro Brito is no longer Botafogo’s Director of Sports Management. In April, the executive had informed John Textor of his desire to conclude his cycle at the SAF at this stage of the season. Brito bids farewell to the Club this Saturday (30) in the match against Bahia, in Salvador, for the Brazilian Championship.

"I will carry in my heart, forever, every second I lived at Botafogo. They were the most challenging, most intense and, at the same time, most transformative moments of my professional life. Every step was built with struggle, conviction and total commitment. Life is made of cycles, and, at this moment, mine comes to an end here. I leave with my head held high, with a clear conscience and with the pride of having been part of a rebuilding process that put Botafogo back where it deserves to be - on the national and world stage.

The Botafogo Family was never just a phrase. It was a real feeling, lived every day. Step by step, we faced doubts, pressure, criticism, joy... but we also built respect, identity and a solid path.

My deepest thanks to all the staff, professionals and partners who stood by our side on this journey. None of this would have been possible without you. I will carry Botafogo with me for life. Not only as a club, but as part of my history, my essence and my soul. What we built here is a legacy," Brito said.

The SAF thanks Alessandro Brito for all the dedication and professionalism shown throughout his journey, crowned by the Libertadores and Brazilian Championship titles in 2024, and wishes him success in his future challenges.
