Restructuring in professional football

One of the new administration’s priorities was the overhaul of the football department. Early in the term, the club made adjustments to its structure with the arrival of executive Paulo Pelaipe and the hiring of Portuguese coach Luís Castro, who is responsible for leading the main squad.

“Our idea is to deliver Grêmio at a better level, much better than when we took over,” emphasized the director. “We don’t want to take any risks this year, as happened in previous years,” he added.

Administration aims for financial balance and new revenue streams

Off the field, the Grêmio leadership has focused its efforts on issues considered strategic for the club’s future. Among the main points are the pursuit of financial balance, the consolidation of Arena management, and the creation of new sources of revenue to support sporting growth.

“A club with financial problems is a club that will hardly be able to prosper on the field,” highlighted the director.

Youth academy, women’s football, and institutional presence

Other areas have also received attention at the start of this term. The promotion of youth academy categories and the overhaul of women’s football are part of the package of structural actions adopted by the current administration. At the same time, Grêmio seeks to expand its institutional presence, participating in debates about the economic direction of Brazilian football.
