Pedrinho returns, what changes in Vasco SAF sale to Lamacchia? | OneFootball

An injunction has overturned the court intervention and returned control of Vasco’s SAF to the elected leadership, restoring president Pedrinho and allied councillors. That shift meets the key condition set by businessman Marcos Faria Lamacchia to advance his purchase of the football arm.

According to PaponaColina, Lamacchia, son of José Roberto Lamacchia, had warned he would walk unless talks ran directly through the current president. In a filing last week, he reiterated that a billion-level injection depended on ending the intervention and reinstating the elected board, and the path to a final agreement has been unlocked.

The current share split does not worry the prospective buyer, who has expressed confidence in the deal’s legal footing. The social club holds 30%, 39% is under arbitration, and the remaining 31% belongs to the American group 777 Partners. In a recent interview, he framed the dispute with former partners as a commercial issue and criticised attempts to stall the sale.

For control to change hands, Vasco must either secure a favourable arbitral ruling or reach a consensual agreement among all parties. The project already has a letter of support signed by 106 councillors.

If the deal reaches its final administrative phase, it must follow the statute. The offer would go to the Council of Beneméritos, led by Luis Manuel, then the Deliberative Council, before a members’ vote at a General Assembly. As the institution is in Judicial Recovery, court approval would also be required.

A swift resolution is seen as vital to ease football finances and enable significant reinforcements. Closing would provide stability for long-term planning and immediate investment. Pedrinho is working behind the scenes to accelerate the final steps and put a definitive proposal to a vote.
