Paulo Angioni was a guardian of human values and will be missed in Brazilian football

Paulo Sérgio Scudieri Angioni was a pioneering figure in Brazilian football for defending human values and protecting vulnerable young players, decades before these issues became mainstream topics in sports. Working as a human capital administrator, he was concerned with boys who were often discarded at the end of cycles, many semi-literate and who abandoned their studies for the dream of a professional career. Angioni was one of the first professionals to prioritize the "excluded" of football, humanizing a segment historically steeped in amateurism and the exploitation of these young people.
