After leaving his position as executive at Remo at the beginning of the season, Marcos Braz may be on his way to another traditional Brazilian football club. The former Flamengo executive held meetings with investors from Santa Cruz's SAF.
Marcos Braz spoke with Bruno Rodrigues, president of Santa Cruz, and Iran Barbosa, one of the club's SAF investors. However, despite the talks, there is still no agreement between the parties. The information comes from GE.
In fact, Marcos Braz spoke with the club officials last weekend. The former football director of Flamengo also attended the classic match between Santa Cruz and Náutico at Estádio dos Aflitos, which was the second leg of the semifinals of the Campeonato Pernambucano.
Currently, Santa Cruz is undergoing a restructuring, with SAF investments in both the football department and Estádio do Arruda. The club is thus trying to return to the top divisions of national football. At the moment, the team is competing in Série C.
Marcos Braz had two stints at Flamengo, with the last one ending at the end of 2024, when Rodolfo Landim lost the elections. However, the former rubro-negro executive has a victorious history at the club, with titles in the Brasileirão, the Libertadores, and the Copa do Brasil.
