Agent slams São Paulo boss after defeat: “Limited leader, own up!” | OneFootball

The year has barely begun, and São Paulo is already in crisis. Obviously, off the field, it has been dragging on since the end of 2025, with numerous scandals reported within the club that are still under investigation. But now, on the field as well, the club is starting to suffer what was already expected.

To further complicate the situation at Morumbi, the agent Júnior Pedroso, who represents players like Lucas Moura, Ferreirinha, and Pablo Maia, took to social media to criticize the club's management.

The complaints and criticisms were not directed at anyone specific but rather at the 'team leadership,' which could refer to Crespo, who started with all his clients on the bench, or even the club's management. Or all of them.

“A limited leader is not someone who is technically limited, but someone who cannot even gain the trust of their group. Such a leader doesn't have many options. A leader must know how to lead their team, taking responsibility for their mistakes without exposing their team. If you make a mistake, just own it! And try to learn from your mistakes,” Júnior Pedroso posted on his social media after the 3-0 defeat to Mirassol in the Paulistão 2026 debut.

Among the professional's clients, Ferreirinha and Lucas entered in the second half, with the former slightly changing the team's dynamics. Meanwhile, the number 7 barely touched the ball and was limited to a good shot from outside the area, which was saved by goalkeeper Walter in the final minutes in Mirassol.

Picking up the pieces from yet another defeat, São Paulo now has a home match to seek recovery. They face São Bernardo at 9:45 PM (Brasília time) on Thursday (15th), in a Morumbi likely filled with an atmosphere of demands on the management on the eve of the impeachment vote in the Deliberative Council, a day later.
