🤝 The Link Between the Board and the Locker Room

Signed in May with the mission of orchestrating things behind the scenes, Guilherme has an intense routine at Cidade do Galo. His key role is to act as a bridge between the players, head coach Eduardo Domínguez’s staff, and the board.

During training sessions, it is common to see him aligning ideas with executive Paulo Bracks and speaking directly with the players. According to the director, this adjustment has been quick and satisfying:

The routine is dynamic and requires daily communication with the entire staff and squad.

The club’s structural development has impressed the former player compared to the time when he was still playing.

The working environment is excellent, which makes it easier to stay focused on preparation for the rest of the year.

Internal planning and market targets are practically finalized.

So far, the club has already officially announced one signing for the team: center-back Léo Duarte.
