🖤 Clubs pay tribute to Paulo Soares, the 'Amigão', for his legacy | OneFootball

The death of Paulo Soares, known as "Amigão", was followed by numerous tributes in Brazilian football.

Almost all of the Serie A clubs mourned the premature departure of Amigão, who died of multiple organ failure at the age of 63.

The charisma and good humor of the journalist - who was a São Paulo fan - were, for example, highlighted in the posts.

A prominent figure at ESPN Brasil, Paulo Soares shared the SportsCenter desk for years with Antero Greco, who died in May of the previous year from a brain tumor.

The duo marked generations of fans of the program, which premiered in 2000 during the coverage of the Sydney Olympics and is still on the air today.

Before becoming a reference in sports television, Amigão made a career on the radio, passing through stations such as Record, Globo and Bandeirantes.

He also had stints at Gazeta, Record and Cultura, until he arrived at ESPN in the 1990s, where he consolidated his trajectory and gained national recognition.
