Former Vasco boss questions amount in judicial recovery | OneFootball

The Judicial Recovery (RJ) process of Vasco da Gama has gained a new chapter in the courts. Former coach Alberto Valentim has filed a credit challenge, contesting the amount of his labor debt listed by the Judicial Administrator. The coach claims that the amount is outdated and requests the recognition of a sum R$ 356,000 higher.

Former coach contests the amount of R$ 1.78 million

In Vasco's RJ creditors list, Alberto Valentim's credit was listed at R$ 1,780,220.59, referring to labor claims from his time at the club. However, the coach's defense argues that this amount has not been updated since 2022 and is therefore incorrect.

Valentim asks the court to recognize the updated value up to the date of the RJ filing (02/24/2025), which would be R$ 2,136,399.66. The original debt stems from a 2019 labor court case, regarding severance pay, FGTS, and fines.

Vasco's defense is based on article of the Judicial Recovery Law

The former coach's central argument is based on Article 9 of Law 11.101/2005. The legislation determines that credits recognized in a Judicial Recovery process must be updated for inflation up to the date the request is filed. The aim of the action, therefore, is for the real and corrected amount to appear in the General List of Creditors of CRVG. The situation adds yet another obstacle to the already complex process of the club's financial restructuring.
