Having worked at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo since 1995, after completing 12 years of service, I had the honor of receiving my award a few weeks ago.

My mission and my pleasure are to serve the club, which is the greatest passion of my life.

Now, I'm completing another successful cycle, having worked directly in the Football Department. We qualified Flamengo for the Copa Libertadores das Américas two years in a row. We won the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca.

At this moment, I feel obliged to thank the professionals with whom I worked, President Marcio Braga and Vice-President Dealair Bumbrosk, the other members of the board and, most especially, Vice-President of Football Kleber Leite for the trust placed in me by granting me this opportunity.
