Ex-Flamengo chief Landim makes bid to buy SAF of Brazilian club | OneFootball

Former Flamengo President, Rodolfo Landim, Wants to Invest in Confiança, from Sergipe

Since leaving Flamengo last December, Rodolfo Landim remains connected to the world of football. After all, the former president of Flamengo presented a proposal this Saturday (20) to purchase the SAF of Confiança, from Sergipe. The team is in Serie C of the Brasileirão.

The offer came from the company LG2, which has Landim as one of the partners, hence the 'L' in the institution's name. The 'G2' stands for Gustavo Oliveira, former Vice President of Communication and Marketing at Flamengo, and Gabriel Araújo. The proposal will be debated in the deliberative council of Confiança.

The group led by Rodolfo Landim intends to invest up to R$ 500 million over ten years. Among the proposals are: construction of a new training center, modernization of the Sabino Ribeiro Stadium, expansion of the member-fan program, and direct investment in the professional squad.

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR THE SAF OF CONFIANÇA TO ADVANCE?

In summary, the deliberative council of Confiança will define an internal committee to evaluate the situation. If approved, the project will go to another meeting in the Board of Directors, which will analyze and send it to the General Assembly. The information about Landim's proposal comes from ESPN.

DID LANDIM WANT SAF AT FLAMENGO?

During the electoral campaign at Flamengo last year, the SAF topic was a subject of debates with the incumbent candidate, Rodrigo Dunshee, supported by Landim, and Luiz Eduardo Baptista, from the opposition. Both 'passed the buck' to each other regarding who was interested in transforming Mengão into a Football Corporation.

After all, the topic is quite controversial, and a significant part of the Flamengo fanbase is against the model. Therefore, during the campaign, admitting that SAF would be a good alternative was not a recommended strategy for winning the elections. However, despite the heated discussions, Mengão continues with the associative model.
