We are shocked to learn that Brazilian soccer superstar Pele has passed away at the age of 82. His mother, Santos, has announced that the number 10, which was worn by Pele before he passed away, will be discontinued for this year in order to honor the memory of this soccer great. The Board of Directors will be discussing this issue later to see if this legendary number will be permanently removed from the club.
Pele played for Santos for 18 years, helping the team win 6 league titles and 2 Copa Libertadores titles. The image of him wearing the No. 10 jersey has become a symbol of "superstar" and "soccer master".
After Pele's death, many fans and family members called on Santos to retire the No. 10 jersey in his honor. Santos' management has responded to this call, with President Anders Ruda announcing that the No. 10 jersey will not be used this year, and that the current No. 10 player, Sudildo, will have to change his number. The Board of Directors will then make a decision on the matter, and it is widely predicted that the Board will be expected to pass a resolution to permanently seal the No. 10 jersey.
