Jorge Salgado sues Vasco board members | OneFootball

Former Vasco president Jorge Salgado has sued all the board members who are part of the committee investigating the sale of the club’s SAF to 777 Partners.

Salgado took over the club in 2021, and the main move of his term was precisely the sale of 70% of Vasco’s Football Joint-Stock Company to the American firm 777 Partners in 2023. In addition, the former president had promised to hand over the club at the end of the three-year term with debt below R$ 400 million, which was achieved thanks to the sale of the SAF, which took on the club’s debts.

In football, the club was relegated to Série B in February 2021, shortly after the former president took office. The team remained in the competition in 2022 and only returned to the top tier of Brazilian football in 2023, where it battled until the final round to avoid dropping back to the second division.

Jorge Salgado was a key figure in Vasco’s sale to 777

The former president handed over the position in 2024 to Pedrinho, who removed the American company from control of the club in the first year of his term, citing 777’s serious financial and reputational crisis.
