Pedrinho makes shock decision on his political future at Vasco | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama is experiencing days of uncertainty, but an important decision has been made behind the scenes. President Pedrinho has already confided to close associates what his political fate will be. Despite facing resistance within his own family, the leader has indicated that he will seek re-election. The information comes from ESPN and has been confirmed by Papo na Colina.

The management's trump cards against the crisis

The former player is betting on specific achievements to justify the new term. The legal move that removed 777 Partners from control of the SAF is his main flag. Additionally, assembling squads that reached two consecutive Copa do Brasil semifinals is used as an argument for sporting success.

Pedrinho believes his intervention was vital to protect the club. However, the current scenario is one of “total indecision” due to the accumulated wear and tear with the fans, caused by recent heavy defeats to rivals and the negative streak in the Brasileirão.

The risk of tarnishing Vasco's history

The insistence on re-election puts something greater than the position at stake: idolatry. Part of the fans already see the image of the Libertadores champion being tarnished by administrative decisions. The delay in the definitive sale of the SAF and the delays in the renovation of São Januário weigh against him.

The president will have to convince the members that he is capable of delivering on his promises. The family fears that continuous exposure and heavy criticism will destroy the legacy he built as an athlete within the Gigante da Colina as well as his own health.
