Businessman Diego Fernandes, who has already shown willingness to take over São Paulo, posted an enigmatic message that stirred up fans on Monday morning. A declared supporter of the club, he plans to organize a fund to acquire Tricolor and be responsible for its management.
Diego Fernandes mentioned his responsibility in direct negotiations with Carlo Ancelotti for the Italian coach’s move to the Brazilian National Team and hinted that he wishes to take on a similar responsibility at São Paulo, challenging the current crisis scenario at the club.
“They said it was impossible to bring Ancelotti. I did it. Now, they say it’s impossible: Ronaldinho as number 10 at São Paulo, professionalizing the club, and changing the Statute. Let’s see,” wrote the businessman in a post on social media.
Along with the text, Diego Fernandes posted a photo next to Ronaldinho Gaúcho wearing a São Paulo jersey. The photo was taken in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, during the Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit.
