President of Vasco SAF's fiscal council quits, demands governance | OneFootball

The bureaucratic backstage of Vasco SAF suffered another major blow at the close of this first half of the year. Economist Marco Norci Schroeder formally submitted his resignation as chairman of the company’s Fiscal Council, with his definitive departure scheduled for July 31, 2026. The information about the political move was first reported by journalist Emerson Rocha, from the Atenção, Vascaínos! channel.

In his farewell letter, the executive justified his departure due to the postponement and non-holding of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, an act mandatorily provided for in the company’s bylaws. He strongly warned of the urgent need for the institution to strengthen its corporate structures, its internal governance pillars, and its accountability mechanisms.

Questions over transparency and a new investor

The chairman of the Fiscal Council also revealed that the current management did not share the data and documents needed for his department to analyze the ongoing negotiations with the Lamacchia family group. According to the text signed by the board member, although the club urgently needs an injection of private capital to fix its cash flow, economic urgency does not justify accepting contractual models without a proper transparency process.

The executive made a strong public appeal for the board to adopt strict market compliance and fiscal responsibility rules to safeguard the future of Vasco football. He stressed that full clarification of every detail of the talks is indispensable in negotiations involving assets of great sporting and financial magnitude.

Accusations of political ties and a wave of dismissals at Vasco

The departure had become inevitable after strong public criticism from Pedrinho, who laid bare the business connection and political split that led to the fiscal board member’s exit. The elected president directly linked the overseer to the opposition bloc led by former executives who were mass-dismissed from their strategic positions in the association last week, including former vice president of finance Silvio Roberto Vieira Almeida and former legal vice president Felipe Carregal Sztajnbok.

The Vasco idol exposed the internal connections and vented about the opponents joining forces to destabilize the negotiations, even mentioning the recent accusations by creditor José Luis Moreira, known as Zé do Táxi:

Historical coincidences and judicial intervention

The list of dismissals signed by the elected president also hit Claudio Pereira Gomes, former secretary director, and Raphael Travassos de Souza Avellar, “Pulga,” former vice president of history and social responsibility, confirming a total realignment of internal forces. At the same time, journalist Emerson Rocha brought to light a striking historical correlation regarding Marco Norci Schroeder’s role in corporate restructurings.

In 2017, the board member also filed his resignation from fiscal functions at telecom company Oi, precisely during the period when the company was dealing with its court-supervised reorganization process in bankruptcy court. The situation bears a bureaucratic similarity to the current moment at São Januário, since at that time lawyer Samantha Mendes Longo acted as the operator’s technical intervenor, performing exactly the same role as court-appointed manager that she took on at Vasco SAF by order of the 4th Business Court of Rio de Janeiro.
