São Paulo fans back the impeachment of Julio Casares | OneFootball

With the crisis established at São Paulo, President Julio Casares has become the target of criticism. Last Friday, a day after the heavy defeat to Fluminense, members of the club's council and opposition launched a document requesting the impeachment of the leader, alleging reckless management.

The document contains 41 signatures and accuses Casares of “seriously compromising the institutional, financial, and sporting stability” of São Paulo. Despite the request, the president showed no concern about the possibility of resignation.

“It’s a political process. The opposition can do this with other presidents. Election year, this is normal,” he said.

A survey conducted by Gazeta Esportiva asked the Tricolor fans if they approved a possible impeachment of Julio Casares from the position of São Paulo president. The result was positive: 93.08% of participants were in favor of the resignation, while 6.92% were against.

Despite the criticism, the crisis at São Paulo did not only affect Julio Casares. On Friday, the football director Carlos Belmonte and directors Nelson Marques Ferreira and Fernando Bracalle Ambrogi resigned from their positions in the Tricolor's management.

São Paulo is in eighth place in the Brazilian Championship, but can be caught by Corinthians this Sunday. The Tricolor still dreams of a spot in the Pre-Libertadores and hopes that Fluminense or Cruzeiro wins the Copa do Brasil, so the team occupying the eighth place in the national competition will qualify for the continental tournament.
