The Sampaio Corrêa Herald
Match8 Aug 2026
Sampaio Corrêa run riot against Manaus
6‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Neto scores twice — 8.35
Two goals and a mark of 8.35 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Sávio gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Sávio has just signed for Sampaio Corrêa, and for once the answer mattered.

No sign of nerves from Adriano Rodrigues at 21 — 8.18
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Adriano Rodrigues did not need any: 8.18, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Sávio stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Sávio and Sampaio Corrêa agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Sampaio Corrêa
Sávio was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

6 goals as Sampaio Corrêa and Manaus go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Sampaio Corrêa and Manaus, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Sampaio Corrêa agree a free transfer for Felipe Preis
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

One of their own: Luan Andrey
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
