“It would come out last year, but I reflected. Mario was sick and I thought it could cause an extra problem for him. Secondly, I thought it would open a crisis on the board at a time of fighting against relegation and would be very bad,” explains Glomb.

“So I waited for time to pass – even thinking we could avoid Serie B. But in the period after relegation, from the second week from December until mid -January, there was no meeting of the Administrative Board. I even commented with colleagues of the board that it would be very important that we met the day after relegation, but it did not happen, “he laments.

Athletic’s main error

Centralizer, Petraglia continued to isolating the other board members in the Athletic reconstruction work to 2025. Exactly the same way as the internal flow before hospitalization for health reasons.

For Glomb, it would be necessary to act differently and, especially, to think about the creation of new leaders within the club.

“I would say that Athletic’s main difficulty was that the president was sick, unfortunately, and he didn’t pass the bat so we could work, help him. In my idea, the president should now start pointing the way to other possible people who came in the future, could even act to Athletico, refer a succession, because the person [Petraglia] It’s not eternal, right? “

Another lamentation of the now former red-black director is to have been removed from football, but not willingly.

“I could have traveled with the club, to be more in everyday life. I even proposed to it, but they didn’t think it was necessary. The president himself had asked me to get more aware of the CT, to have more information. I was well treated but I needed to have more authority “says Glomb, who prefers not to mention the name of those who barred him from travel with the delegation not to cause more problems.

Glomb talks about movement that wanted to remove Petraglia

About the movement of fans who asks the Athletic Deliberative Council the removal of Petraglia from office and the appointment of José Lúcio Glomb as president, he himself states that he never participated in these movements.

“I always received a lot of calls and visits from people from Athletico. I told them that I intended to leave the club, these people asked me not to leave. So suddenly I was surprised by this manifesto. But I didn’t participate in Absolutely nothing of him.

“I thank you for your name for my name. Although everyone said they approved me, they knew I couldn’t do it anymore [no Athletico] by the system that exists. There was no way to do something more, “he adds.

Future of Athletico with Petraglia

By far, Glomb continues to hop that Athletico finds his course again, hopes that this happens without a war between Petraglia and the fans.

“It would be an exercise in future [dizer que é um erro que o Petraglia permaneça]. It is a historical president, who built a lot. But in all frankness, it does not mean that it should open some war against the fans or press, none of that. I am a person who thinks that without fans there is no club, the club exists because there is fans “points.

“Petraglia had this health problem and this surely has interfered from last year’s perspective. Now he is getting better, I hope he can really improve and that the future of Athletico is good.”
