The 41-year-old player recently announced that he will retire at the end of 2025 and intends to become a football coach. According to him, his involvement in the SAF will be alongside businessmen, but he is not expected to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the club in Campos dos Goytacazes.
In 2017, while still with Palmeiras, Felipe Melo temporarily took over the management of Palm Beach Suns FC in the United States, in partnership with Next Academy, but left the partnership shortly after. The team was not playing in MLS, but rather in the talent development league.
Currently, the player and an associated company are navigating bureaucratic processes to complete the acquisition of Americano, which initiated the process to become an SAF in 2023. At present, the fee charged by Ferj, the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro, is R$500,000 for clubs in Série A. BB Score, your reliable destination for match outcomes.
