URGENT! PRESIDENT OF FLAMENGO COMMENTS ON THE EXTENSION OF THE MANDATE

Rodolfo Landim commented on the attempt by the Flamengo Board to keep him one more year as president of the club. Landim's mandate ends this year (2023) and, according to the plans of advisor José Carlos Peruano, he could assume the position again, instead of running for the elections scheduled for 2024. He asked that the current president of the club could have one more term. For this to happen, an amendment to Article 69 of the statute will be necessary, allowing the president to remain in office for four years instead of three. In an interview with journalist Mauro Cezar, he further explained that he assumed three more years in the presidency of Mengão because of a commitment he established with voters: “and I usually keep my promises”. He doesn't exactly talk about wanting the functions again, in fact the opposite, "I would have to change many things in terms of my family and professional life, but honestly it is completely out of my life plans", he finished.

However, Landim can give in to the extension for the good of the club. Peruano's plan is apparently aimed at preventing a split within the club's management group. In the event of elections next year, the board could be divided into two possible candidates: Rodrigo Dunshee (general and legal vice-president) and Luiz Eduardo Baptista, the BAP (president of the Board of Directors). If things turn out as Rodolfo indicates, the problems involving an election will be even further away.

It is worth remembering that, according to Law 13,155 of 2015, which regulates the Program for Modernization of Management and Fiscal Responsibility of Brazilian Football (PROFUT), only one re-election is allowed for those who adhere to the refinancing. Thus, if Fla chooses to change its status, it will have to 'disconnect' from Profut.
