São Paulo hire new doctor after sacking controversial nutritionist | OneFootball

Entangled in controversies, accusations, and scandals, São Paulo is rushing to try to put things in order at least at Barra Funda, where it has already dismissed some employees at the end of this year. Now, the replacements are beginning.

After the portal Uol revealed that the weight loss pens used at the club were purchased from a private supplier without authorization from Anvisa, the Tricolor dismissed this Tuesday (16) the nutritionist Eduardo Rauen, who was responsible for implementing TecFut at Tricolor and who had requested the use of the medication for some athletes, which caused much discussion and division within the medical department.

And already this Wednesday (17), São Paulo hired orthopedic doctor Hilton Vargas Lutfi to work at the Barra Funda training center. According to his professional profile on Linkedin, the doctor has already been working at Tricolor for two and a half years as a volunteer member in the club’s Medical Excellence Division (DEM).

In 2023, he joined as a member of the DEM, and since March 2024 has served as deputy medical director of the Division.

Lutfi is an orthopedic doctor and a shoulder and elbow specialist and manages several specialized clinics in São Paulo. He has excellent reviews on medical portals, one of which states that “this doctor looks for treatment solutions that avoid unnecessary surgeries,” according to one of his patients.

And the doctor did not hide that he is a São Paulo fan, as he thanked for the opportunity on his social networks, where he posted photos of the contract signing and with his new employee badge from the club.

“Those who know me know how much I prepared to get here, many years of study and dedication for an ideal, I am giving up a lot to fulfill a dream and help my beloved team, because São Paulo is a feeling that will never end,” wrote the doctor.
