The São Paulo fans staged a timid protest this Wednesday in front of Vila Belmiro, before the match against Internacional, for the penultimate round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
The Independente, São Paulo's main organized fan group, dressed appropriately, creating a t-shirt with a caricature of the club's president, Julio Casares, with mouse ears, fleeing Morumbi alongside other mice, with the words: “Out with Casares and his cronies.”
The demonstration, however, did not have many participants, as the expected attendance for this Wednesday's match is low. Banners against São Paulo's executive director of football, Rui Costa, were also displayed.
The chants during the protest targeted Julio Casares, Rui Costa, and the São Paulo council members.
This is not the first time São Paulo's organized fan groups have staged a protest against the current management. However, during the last protest at Morumbi's gates, directors Carlos Belmonte, Fernando Chapecó, and Nelson Ferreira were still with the club.
The São Paulo directors left their respective positions last week after the 6-0 defeat to Fluminense at Maracanã. Now, the football department is composed only of executive Rui Costa and football coordinator Muricy Ramalho.
