Although Pereira is a coach who fits Flamengo’s profile, the club does not want to pay Fenerbahce a release fee. In the news in ESPN Brazil; It was stated that Pereira’s contract with Fenerbahçe included a release clause of 500 thousand euros.
On the other hand, GOAL Brazil; He also learned that Pereira is not willing to work in Brazil for the time being.
The reason for the Portuguese insistence is Jorge Jesus
Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who coached Flamengo between 2019-2020, led the club to great success. Flamengo, who won the Brazilian League and Copa Libertadores championship in 2019 under the administration of Jesus, played in the final of the Club World Championship.
The veteran coach has a contract with Benfica until the summer of 2022, although Flamengo would like to reinstate Jorge Jesus. Jesus does not intend to leave until his contract with Benfica is completed.
Another candidate is Carlos Carvalhal, who coaches Braga. However, Carvalhal has a much more astronomical release price than Pereira. Flamengo have to sacrifice 10 million euros if they want to expel the 56-year-old coach, whose contract with Braga will expire at the end of the season, from the club right now.
Andre Villas-Boas, who left Marseille in March, is still an ideal candidate for Flamengo as he is still in a free position. However, according to the news in Record; The 44-year-old coach aspires to work in the Portuguese League.
