Hit a snag! São Paulo delays club leaders' meeting after council snub | OneFootball

São Paulo announced this Thursday (25) that it would begin holding two meetings in the coming weeks at the Barra Funda training center, bringing together different institutional leaders from the club.

The Tricolor’s measure was supposed to begin this Friday (26). It was supposed to, if not for a major absence among the club’s board members, who declined the invitation, and the meeting ended up being postponed, according to Globo Esporte.

The low turnout among the board members was mainly due to part of the opposition to the management of current São Paulo president Harry Massis.

The meeting was meant precisely for that: to try to align and bring the board closer to São Paulo’s different political factions after the incredible turbulence that has been wearing the club down.

Also according to GE.com, some of the invited guests declined the invitation, and the meeting was rescheduled for next week. The board members’ justifications were previously scheduled commitments, but there is resistance from the group toward the current board over the latest decisions that have been made, such as Arboleda’s reintegration into the club after everything the Ecuadorian did.

As announced by São Paulo, the goal would be to create closer ties with the routine of the football department, creating a space for direct dialogue and the exchange of information. The meetings will include members of the board, the coaching staff, and leaders from the professional football department, including head coach Dorival Júnior and sporting manager Rafinha, who will present the work carried out on a day-to-day basis and will be available to share information about the challenges and planning of the first team.

The proposal is to strengthen integration, increase transparency, enhance the exchange of knowledge, and bring closer all those who wish to contribute to São Paulo’s growth, the club said in an official statement.
