Overview
- Imperatriz Leopoldinense officially renewed carnavalesco Leandro Vieira for the 2027 parade, closing days of speculation following his split 2026 season.
- Vieira told Extra he stayed to honor an existing commitment in Ramos and to pursue continuity as a long‑term career plan.
- União de Maricá, promoted to the Grupo Especial for 2027, appointed Edson Pereira after thanking Vieira for guiding its Série Ouro campaigns.
- The Maricá school further reinforced its debut team by signing master‑sala Julinho Nascimento and porta‑bandeira Rute Alves, and hiring front‑commission choreographer Patrick Carvalho.
- Rio’s broader post‑Carnaval reshuffle continued, with Paulo Barros returning to Portela, Jack Vasconcelos moving to Mocidade, and Imperatriz naming a new first couple of mestre‑sala and porta‑bandeira.
