Vasco director explains Felipe’s role, calls it fundamental | OneFootball

Vasco’s football operation is being driven by executive director Admar Lopes and technical director Felipe. In a press conference on Thursday, Lopes underlined Felipe’s fundamental day-to-day influence and his part in head coach Pedro Emanuel’s rapid adaptation.

According to PaponaColina, Lopes described Felipe as a connector across departments who works closely with scouting and with him to identify targets, while smoothing the coach’s transition.

Felipe’s integration work links the needs of the coaching staff with market analysis. His view from the touchline helps refine internal dialogue with the Portuguese staff, allowing precise identification of gaps and budget-appropriate solutions.

Lopes also highlighted Felipe’s influence on the academy, notably during the Brazilian Under-20 title win and in accelerating promotions. He said Felipe knows every youth player and had a decisive hand in bringing Ramon Rique up at a time when Renato’s staff had not seen him play.

At the top of the structure, Lopes framed their partnership as fully complementary. He praised Felipe’s coach’s eye and humility, adding that all technical decisions are validated by both.

The shared model, with clear roles and integrated processes from scouting to first-team performance, is designed to protect the dressing room and provide stability. That framework arrives with semi-finals looming in the Copa Sul-Americana and the Copa do Brasil.
