Na repercussão do importante anúncio feito por Marcelo Marques sobre a compra dos direitos da Arena, o que vai deixar o Grêmio muito próximo de administrar totalmente o seu estádio, o pré-candidato Paulo Caleffi decidiu, neste sábado, retirar a sua candidatura das eleições marcadas para este segundo semestre. Em áudio a apoiadores e amigos, explicou que um dos motivos é familiar e reconheceu, também, que tudo aponta para a vitória de Marques nas urnas gremistas.
Ex-vice de futebol no começo da gestão de Alberto Guerra, Caleffi já havia mostrado alguns dos seus planos para o Grêmio, como as contratações de Maicon e Danrlei como dirigentes do departamento de futebol. Ele também vinha assegurando ter um executivo já contratado para iniciar o trabalho em janeiro de 2026.
“Encaminhei meu texto nas redes ao próprio Marcelo Marques, que respondeu gentil a mim. Vou estar disponível para a chapa do Conselho avançar, mas compreendo que muitas vezes temos que dar um passo atrás e reconhecer que o momento é de outro. Como gremista, quero que o Marcelo tenha todo o sucesso possível”, disse Caleffi em áudio que circulou pela manhã.
Com isso, oficialmente, o Grêmio se mantém neste momento com quatro pré-candidatos. Além de Marcelo Marques, seguem disputando o pleito Denis Abrahão, Sérgio Canozzi e Gladimir Chiele. O atual mandatário Alberto Guerra, apto a concorrer, ainda não definiu oficialmente a sua posição nestas eleições.
O texto publicado por Caleffi na web
Apesar de não ter deixado claro, Caleffi, em seu texto publicado na web para repercutir a compra da Arena, já indicava que abriria mão da candidatura. Ele parabenizou Marques pela aquisição e mostrou o seu lado gremista:
“Como torcedor do Grêmio, venho publicamente cumprimentar o Marcelo Marques e a sua equipe pelo êxito na complexa negociação realizada para compra da gestão da Arena. Diante desse movimento extremamente importante para a nossa história, compartilho o mesmo sentimento de toda a nação gremista, no sentido de que a partir de agora o Grêmio possa usufruir de todo o potencial da sua grandeza e da sua marca, inigualáveis no sul do Brasil. Seguimos sempre juntos pelas três cores, pois o Grêmio é nosso, e agora, a Arena também. Nada, absolutamente nada, pode ser maior”, postou Caleffi.
Cruzeiro x Grêmio
Alheio aos assuntos eleitorais extracampo, o time do Grêmio se concentra nas quatro linhas e espera fazer um bom retorno ao Brasileirão. Com as voltas de Kannemann, Villasanti e Braithwaite, a equipe comandada por Mano Menezes encara o vice-líder Cruzeiro neste domingo, a partir das 20h30, fora de casa.

Smyth poised for NFL debut after elevation to Saints’ active roster
Northern Ireland's Charlie Smyth is set to make his NFL debut for the New Orleans Saints against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.The 24-year-old former Gaelic footballer has been promoted to the Saints' active roster, replacing kicker Blake Grupe. Grupe was released after missing two field goals in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, his seventh and eighth failed attempts of the season. Earlier this week, the Saints signed former Cincinnati, Washington, and Cleveland kicker Cade York to their practice squad.Both York and Smyth were evaluated during training, but on Saturday the team opted to elevate Smyth, paving the way for his NFL regular-season bow. Born in Mayobridge, Smyth impressed during the preseason, converting all four of his field-goal attempts, including two from beyond 50 yards. The Saints also elevated wide receiver Dante Pettis from the practice squad to the […]
Vicario booed by own fans as Fulham pile misery on shambolic Spurs
Guglielmo Vicario was booed by his own supporters as his howler in a shambolic opening half against Fulham saw Spurs concede twice in the first six minutes with a second-half revival not enough to avoid a 2-1 defeat - which could have been much worse. Already trailing from Kenny Tete's third-minute deflected opener, a moment of madness from the Italian goalkeeper less than three minutes later gifted possession to Harry Wilson after running some 25 yards off his line, who punished his poor clearance with a stunning strike into the unguarded net. It was the earliest Spurs had conceded two goals in the history of the Premier League and enough for Spurs fans, who have seen their side win just three of their last 21 home league games, to turn on Vicario and his colleagues, booing several of his touches […]
Carnell Tate, Julian Sayin Revel In 1st Win over Michigan: ‘It Means Everything’
After losing to Michigan in his first two seasons at Ohio State (2023-24), wide receiver Carnell Tate knows what Saturday's 27-9 win meant for the Buckeyes."It means everything to us," Tate told FOX Sports College Football Reporter Jenny Taft after the game. "They came to our home and beat us last year and put on a show. So it meant everything for us to come out here and put on a show and give them a taste of what they gave us last year."After losing to Michigan in "The Horseshoe" last season, Tate took out his anger in a revenge game. He paced Ohio State with five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on Saturday, essentially checking the only empty box left in his Buckeyes' career. As for Tate's quarterback, though, Julian Sayin has only experienced success as the Buckeyes' […]
Ryan Day Finally Gets Revenge as Ohio State Dominates Michigan
Ryan Day has gotten a lot of flak over his tenure at Ohio State for not winning The Game. Of course, Day had won it in his first year, but since that first win, Michigan had turned the tables on what was a lopsided rivalry in the 2010s. Michigan seemed to win each game by being the tougher team, pulling away late after wearing you down with hard, physical runs for the first three quarters.2025 started like a repeat of past sins, with Michigan scoring on its first drive by ripping off chunk plays on the ground. Then Julian Sayin followed that up with a horrible interception, trying to hit Jeremiah Smith in double coverage. Over the past few years, Michigan would’ve rolled that momentum to a close win — but this Ohio State team is entirely different. Carnell Tate […]
‘A bad night’s sleep’ – Norris’ unusual plan for first title chance

Touchback or TD? Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith Sparks Controversy vs. Michigan
Every big game has its big moments, and every big game also has its big controversies.For Week 14's matchup between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 15 Michigan, the controversy came in the second quarter with Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.Faced with a fourth-and-5 at the Michigan 35-yard line, Ohio State opted to keep the offense on the field, and quarterback Julian Sayin hit Smith for a go-ahead touchdown with 11:44 remaining in the first half.On replay review, Smith appeared to shuffle possession of the football with his foot out of bounds when he crossed the plane. If that were the case, it would've been a touchback. Moreover, FOX Sports Rules Expert Mike Pereira opined on the live broadcast on FOX that the call should've indeed been overturned and ruled a touchback, which would've taken the touchdown off the board.Instead, […]
