Harry Massis was officially sworn in as president of São Paulo this Tuesday, in a ceremony attended by board members, guests, and the vice president of the São Paulo Football Federation.

“This period calls for serenity, maturity, and balance. But it also calls for unity. From the very first moment I took over as interim president, I had a clear and non-negotiable goal: to protect São Paulo, to protect its credibility, its finances, and its history. It is a time for rebuilding. That’s why today I make a sincere appeal to all board members, directors, employees, athletes, and fans. São Paulo needs everyone, without exception,” said Massis.

The president also spoke about the gradual process of reorganizing the club and adopted a realistic tone regarding the challenges that still need to be overcome.

“We have a very long staircase to climb before we can reach normalcy, before we can resolve all the problems. But if I can take two or three steps, if I can move up, I’m happy. I’ll be happy and I’ll leave a little legacy for the next president,” Harry Massis told SPFC Play.
