What happened?

Julio Casares was removed from the presidency of São Paulo. The club’s Deliberative Council met in the main hall of Morumbis and approved the impeachment of the president, whose name was recently involved in police scandals. There were 188 votes in favor of removal.

With Casares’ departure, Vice President Harry Massis Júnior temporarily assumes the position. The interim president even spoke with some São Paulo fans in front of Morumbis.

Next steps

According to the São Paulo Statute, Massis Jr. will remain at the club until the end of the impeached president’s term. In other words, he will lead Tricolor until the end of 2026.

Harry Massis Júnior, 80 years old, is a businessman and has been a São Paulo member since 1964. A lifetime counselor at the club, he has already held different positions at Tricolor. Between 2001 and 2002, for example, he served as assistant football director. He was also assistant administrative director between 1992 and 1993.

Official statement from São Paulo

The Deliberative Council of São Paulo Futebol Clube held on Friday (16) the vote regarding the requests for the removal of President Julio Casares. There were 188 votes to approve the agenda, 45 to reject, and two blank votes.

According to the Social Statute, the removal of the Elected President occurs with a favorable vote of at least two-thirds of all members of the Deliberative Council.

With approval, it is up to the President of the Deliberative Council to call a General Assembly to ratify the decision within 30 days.

The removal of the Elected President is immediate and will only be reversed if the agenda is rejected at the General Assembly. The Vice President, Harry Massis, will assume the role of president.

For the removal to be ratified, a simple majority of the Club’s members must vote in favor.

This Friday’s Extraordinary Meeting was held in a hybrid format, with councilors casting their votes digitally.
