Biography
Juvenal Juvencio was the president of the São Paulo Futebol Clube.
His first major role at the club was as the football director, between 1984 and 1988, during the administration of Carlos Miguel Aidar as president. When he took office, he made what he called the "reciclagem (recycling)," to dispense with players who had been at the club for years and were idols of the fans, such as Waldir Peres, Renato, and Zé Sérgio.
With the end of the second term of Aidar, he was elected president in April 1988 by just a one-vote difference, but a social manager paid the club, which generated opposition protests, despite the vote of the member being permitted by ordinance. The term was from 1988 to 1990, in which he won the title at the Paulista Championship in 1989 and the Brazilian runner-up in the same year. But 1990 saw the team hold a lackluster campaign in the Championship, and they did not qualify for the green group the following year with the traditional rivals. During his tenure, the São Paulo also won an unofficial title in 1989 at the Guadalajara Tournament in Mexico.
Between 2003 and 2006, he served as Director of Football, being responsible for assembling the championship team of the Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup in 2005. Then, President Marcelo Portugal Gouvea had to insist that Juvêncio should be accepted into the club. During the campaign that won the Libertadores title, Juvencio arrived to give Cavalariças a few players, such as Souza and Cicinho.
He became club president again in 2006 when he got the title of Brazilian champion three times in a row from 2006–2008. He was re-elected on 22 April 2008, with 147 for him, with 64 for the opposition, led by former judoka Aurelio Miguel. Juvêncio was chosen for the first three-year term, after the change of club status. With it, he had the April 2008 mandate to April 2011.
He has been criticized for having conflicting relationships with many leaders from other clubs and sports entities, which would harm the São Paulo in the opinion of these people. Juvenal's answer is that he is defending the interests of the club. Juvenal is also praised for his dedication to the club, which "breath 24 hours a day" according to the Jornal da Tarde.
Juvenal was elected again for another three years in April 2011, but this dispute follows controversy within the club. While recourse, he remained as president of the club. After three terms as president, Juvenal came to occupy the post of Director of Football Athletes of Cotia Formation Center. After a few months on the job, he was fired by then-President Carlos Miguel Aidar, due to disagreements between them.
Death
Juvêncio had prostate cancer for several years, but the disease weakened his health in the final months before his death. He died on 9 December 2015, aged 81. The funeral took place in the noble hall of the Cicero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium Morumbi, and the burial took place on 10 December 2015 at the Cemitério do Morumbi. The City of São Paulo decreed three days of official mourning in his honor.
