Rafael Tenório, único postulante ao comando executivo do CSA, quer mudanças radicais no clube — e o primeiro alvo é o Conselho Deliberativo.
Em entrevista ao ge, ele falou da necessidade urgente de renovar os conselheiros e chegou a sugerir quem comandaria o Conselho.
“Nesse novo modelo de gestão, eu confesso que tenho que indicar a presidente do Conselho Deliberativo. Eu vou indicar. Se aceitarem, bem. Se não aceitarem, eu não vou! Tenho a doutora Carol Balbino, que é a minha advogada e que foi advogada no CSA de 2015 a 2021”, disse, indicando também a vice.
“Ela é a presidente, eu já conversei com ela. E a vice-presidente é a minha filha, Bianca Tenório.”
Na visão dele, com o aval dos conselheiros a diretoria terá convivência tranquila. “Estou fazendo uma diretoria onde eu não tenha conflito nenhum, porque aí eu não vou brigar com a minha advogada, nem com o meu médico, nem com o meu contador.”
Tenório citou nomes conhecidos do clube, como Lumário Rodrigues e Ricardo Omena, mas insistiu na reformulação: “São grandes azulinos, mas nós precisamos mudar. Nós vamos formar um conselho que realmente ajude o CSA.”
Para explicar o momento, lembrou a canção “Tocando em Frente”, de Almir Sater e Renato Teixeira (1990): “Ando devagar, porque já tive pressa e levo esse sorriso porque eu já chorei demais”. E emendou: “Eles estão falando em mudança. Atitudes iguais, resultados iguais. Por isso precisamos mudar.”
