Cruzeiro
The Perrella brothers' management of Cruzeiro lasted 17 years and was marked by the conquest of 22 titles. Zezé assumed the presidency in 1995 and remained until 2002. In the 2003 season, the year the club won the Triple Crown, Alvimar was in charge. He remained at the helm of Cruzeiro until 2008, when he passed the baton, once again, to Zezé. The Perrella brothers' era ended in 2011. The person responsible for managing the team this year is Gilvan de Pinho Tavares, a candidate who was supported by his predecessors in last year's election.
