Vasco DA Gama suffered a setback with the resignation of Interventor Samantha Mendes Longo from her position. The decision came just six days after her appointment due to personal security concerns.
What happened?
The interventor presented a technical report of her first days of work and meetings at Vasco DA Gama's SAF. However, the resignation comes on the same day that members of Vasco DA Gama's organized fan groups went to the building where the SAF office is located.
Why is this important for Vasco DA Gama?
Judge Caroline Fonseca had appointed Samantha as manager for the next two months to restore the regularity of governance and transparency processes. The resignation may affect the club in its struggle to improve its position in the Serie A table, where it currently occupies 14th place, with 45 points, 13 wins, 6 draws, and 19 losses in 38 games.
What comes next?
Vasco DA Gama needs to find a new interventor to take over the position and continue the club's restructuring work. Meanwhile, the team is preparing to face Vitoria, 15th place, in its next match, scheduled for July 22.

The club also needs to deal with the pressure from organized fan groups, who are eager to see improvements in the team's performance. With 55 goals scored and 60 conceded, Vasco DA Gama has a deficit of 5 goals and is 34 points behind leader Flamengo.
