Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas is going through a crisis with the removal of John Textor from the SAF. The dispute between shareholders of Eagle Football Holding has gained new chapters with the appointment of Durcesio Mello as interim director of the club-company. The story needs to be divided into nuclei to facilitate understanding. In one of them, the discussion between shareholders of Eagle Football Holdings in the Arbitral Tribunal of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation is taking place. It is in this sphere that Textor was removed from the SAF. The arbitration is an independent body that does not belong to the Judiciary, but its sentence has judicial power. It is composed of arbitrators trusted by the parties and can be activated to resolve patrimonial disputes, as is the current case. On Thursday, the arbitrators concluded that recent measures by Textor have the potential to cause irreparable damage to the shareholders and the entire community of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas fans. Thus, his removal from the operation was determined. Already in the early hours of Friday, the SAF stated in a note that the arbitration decision substitutes, in an exceptional and undue manner, the will of the shareholders. According to the club-company, there was no specific request from any of the parties for removal. Durcesio Mello was appointed interim director. Durcesio Mello was president of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, the association, during the transition of football to the SAF. While he was in power, he gave political support for Textor to manage football in the way he intended. Textor's counterattack came in the form of a judicial action. He has been manifesting himself through the SAF and has the support of the law firms Basílio Advogados, Fux Advogados, and Salomão Advogados. One of the main arguments presented is that, despite the financial crisis established in Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, it was not generated by internal problems of the administration, but by the collapse of the single cash system that was in force in the Eagle. The SAF claims to have transferred 146 million euros between 2024 and 2025 to help Lyon, from France, which was facing severe punishments from the DNCG, the French league body that oversees the accounts of clubs. Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, Lyon, Crystal Palace, from England, and Molenbeek, from Belgium, formed the Eagle network. Textor was removed from the administration of Lyon when the rupture with shareholders and creditors of the Eagle became evident. Subsequently, the Eagle had the company that manages the football clubs placed by the British Justice in a judicial administration process, a kind of intervention that precedes insolvency. The intervention took away Textor's decision-making powers, who remained in the business only as a majority shareholder. Now, the firm appointed to care for the intervention, called Cork Gully, has put the Eagle's assets up for sale on the market. The Eagle notified the SAF of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas on April 17, according to the petition written by the club-company's lawyers, to authorize any request for judicial recovery. The holding reaffirmed in the Extraordinary General Assembly on April 20 that it will not make contributions to the club.
