Lawyer Luis Monteagudo announces bid for Fluminense presidency | OneFootball

Graduated in Law from UERJ, the lawyer Luis Monteagudo, 47 years old, will be a candidate for the presidency of Fluminense. He has stood out as the main voice questioning the process of transforming the club into a Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF), pointing out a possible conflict of interest in the negotiation.

Proposal and management vision

“Fluminense Football Club is our passion. However, the moment demands more than that. It requires analysis, transparency, and responsibility. Fluminense is going through a decisive phase in its history — whether in financial management, youth development, investments in professional football, or its relationship with the fans, and this can only be achieved with a presidency committed to values such as transparency and honesty,” says Monteagudo.

History with the club

In addition to leading debates against the SAF, Monteagudo maintains a historic connection with Fluminense. He was director and later president of the Flunitor Supporters Group in the 90s and early 2000s. He has attended more than 1,500 Tricolor matches in stadiums across Brazil and South America. “I went nine years without missing a single match in the state of Rio de Janeiro between 1996 and 2005,” he recalls.

Political and administrative experience

A full member since 2006, Monteagudo was part of Paulo Mozart’s ticket in 2007 and acted as political coordinator for the campaign. He also served as Director of Institutional Relations (2012), was council member for four terms, and participated in the tickets of Mário Bittencourt in 2016 and 2019. Between 2019 and 2025, he performed administrative functions at the club, including Administrative Director and was responsible for special projects.

Promise of transparent management

With the Tricolor de Coração ticket still defining its vice-presidential candidate, Monteagudo promises a technical and operational team. For him, transparency is a priority:

According to the candidate, his goal is to open technical and sincere debates about the club’s economic scenario, sustainable management models, and decisions that will prepare Fluminense for the future, without compromising its sporting and financial potential.
