Vasco face turmoil behind the scenes during season break, find out more | OneFootball

While the Vasco squad enjoys a brief period of rest, the football department is working at full speed. Behind the scenes at São Januário, the board holds daily meetings to outline the next steps for the season, focusing on departures, contract renewals, and possible reinforcements.

Among the main topics on the agenda is the future of goalkeeper Léo Jardim, one of the team’s standouts in 2025. With a contract until 2030, the player is attracting interest from Benfica and Porto, but the club maintains a firm stance: negotiations will only begin if a truly advantageous offer is made.

At the same time, Vasco is looking to streamline the squad, speeding up the departure of players who are not in their plans, such as Jean Meneses, to make room for targeted and strategic signings. The goal is to align the squad with the philosophy implemented by the new management, which is betting on a more technical and modern structure.

Modern management and European influence

The presence of Admar Lopes, a Portuguese executive with experience in European football, symbolizes this transformation. Leading the football department, he has promoted an analytical management model, focused on performance and intensive use of data.

Inspired by practices adopted by major European clubs, Admar seeks to strengthen the performance analysis sector and expand the international talent scouting, making Vasco more competitive in a globalized market.

“The idea is to consolidate a new mindset: a club with solid processes, well-founded decisions, and a long-term vision,” reported a source close to the board.

Solid present and future ambition

The administrative and technical restructuring puts Vasco on a new level of organization. Even in the face of interest from foreign clubs, names like Léo Jardim and Rayan symbolize this moment of stability and the growth potential of Vasco’s project.

The challenge now is to turn off-field consistency into results on the pitch, maintaining competitiveness in the Brasileirão and consolidating the evolution plan through 2030.
