Victor Sarro, humorista e apresentador, virou dirigente: hoje ele é sócio, CEO e presidente do time de basquete de Mogi das Cruzes.
“Vivendo o basquete da melhor forma possível”, brincou ele. O clube estava à beira da falência, com a crise financeira parando até as atividades do profissional, quando ele assumiu. O objetivo era simples: recuperar a relevância da franquia. Desde então, veio o Paulista de 2026, conquistado em 15 de outubro, e a campanha que terminou nas quartas do NBB da temporada passada, quando o time caiu diante do Franca.
Entre os nomes que chegaram estão Lucas Dias, Georginho de Paula e Dontrell Brite. "A gente ofereceu um desafio novo para eles, que já estavam a cinco anos no Franca ganhando tudo," contou Sarro. Ele lembra que o armador só aceitou com a chegada do amigo, e então a diretoria foi buscar os demais.
Na estreia do NBB, o Mogi ganhou por 84 a 73. Depois do jogo, Sarro criticou o Corinthians pelos problemas logísticos na Liga Sul-Americana: "O basquete é um descaso total. É uma coisa muito rentável, tem tradição, e ainda assim os jogadores têm salários atrasados, ficam em aeroportos esperando voos, sem respaldo do clube."
Sócio da All Sports, ele responde pela gestão executiva e pelo marketing desde julho de 2025.
