Brazilian football club Santos FC announced on Friday that they have appointed Neymar Sr., the father and agent of star player Neymar, as the new CEO of the team. Neymar Sr. has played a significant role in his son's career and founded the NR Sports agency, which holds the rights to Neymar's name and image. The contract for Neymar Sr.'s new position as CEO is set to run until December, and he will continue to serve in this role if Santos' president Marcelo Teixeira is re-elected next month.
