Leaders are already discussing the names of a possible replacement; cast has re-presentation scheduled for Tuesday
After the humiliating defeat by Fluminense by 4 to 1, Flamengo’s board decided to work for the departure of coach Vitor Pereira. As I knew the GOALthe red-black leadership understands that there was no evolution in the work in the four-month period and leaving is the best way.
Monday promises to be full of meetings, as Marcos Braz, Flamengo’s vice-president of football, said after leaving Maracanã.
“It’s not the result we wanted to lose the way we lost it. You have to review something, but that doesn’t go through some exchange or situation that you go to 10 pm, 11 pm at night to decide. Tomorrow, calmly, I’ll be with the people I should be with, most likely, I’ll be with Vítor. For now, everything is normal.” The cast even got time off this Monday and has a re-presentation scheduled for Tuesday. Throughout the day, the board’s idea is to talk to Vitor Pereira about leaving. The fine, currently around R$15 million, is not considered a hindrance.
As far as I know the GOAL, the board is already discussing the name of a replacement. A movement for the return of Jorge Jesus, currently at Fenerbahçe, in Turkey, is not ruled out. In addition, Jorge Sampaoli, free on the market since leaving Sevilla, appears as an option. The Argentine coach has always been on President Rodolfo Landim’s list.
As I brought the GOAL, the red-black board decided to make a deeper evaluation of Vitor Pereira’s work after the Carioca Championship. The decision came shortly after the defeat to Fluminense in the last round of the Guanabara Cup. Before that, Vitor Pereira had lost the Brazilian Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the Recopa Sudamericana.
