Part 6/7:
A Path Forward: Establishing Professionalism
To ensure Cruzeiro's successful re-emergence in Brazilian football, it is crucial to blend passionate support with a structured business approach. The SAF model necessitates professional management at all levels—one that can balance investment in talent while simultaneously upholding rigorous standards of governance and operational performance.
As Cruzeiro progresses under the new ownership, the expectations are high—not just from fans but from stakeholders who hold a vested interest in the club's financial health and athletic competitiveness. The lessons learned from the transition period need to foster a craft environment where passion does not overshadow the objective of generating long-term sustainability and success.
