Montenegro says if elected, he plans to bring back Fred’s former role | OneFootball

Candidate for the presidency of Fluminense, Mattheus Montenegro intends to bring back the position of Director of Sports Planning, the same role previously held by Fred after his retirement from the pitch in 2022. However, the Tricolor idol left the club in 2024, citing personal reasons, which led to the extinction of the position.

In an interview with Charla Podcast this Tuesday (4), Montenegro emphasized that he considers it essential to have a figure solely responsible for monitoring young players who are close to joining the main squad.

— We want to reinstate this directorship so that there is a professional positioned between the youth and the professional teams, maintaining close contact with the athletes who are about to move up and with their families. This greatly helps with adaptation, allowing the player to perform more quickly — explained the candidate.

The Fluminense presidential election is scheduled to take place on November 29, defining the leadership of the club for the 2026–2028 term.
