– I’ve had a lot of surprises in football, but maybe there won’t be another one like this – said Angioni.
Mario Bittencourt, president of Fluminense, talks about the historical importance of Zagallo
Diniz split between Fluminense and the Brazilian team in the last six months of 2023, playing in knockout games. He was unable to have a good performance. In theory, he held the interim position waiting for Carlo Ancelotti, who ended up renewing his contract with Real Madrid.
– Him being in the national team didn’t bother me at all. I made that very clear. If he didn’t get in my way in the Libertadores and the World Cup, he wouldn’t get in the way now. His contract was valid until June – said president Mário Bittencourt, who also went to the wake.
With the confusing situation regarding the presidency of the CBF, Ednaldo’s departure by court decision and his return via the same route, the decision on dismissal took place on Friday, shortly after Ednaldo resumed his position. There is still no new name to lead the Brazilian team, but Dorival Júnior, currently at São Paulo, is the favorite.

Mário Bittencourt also recalled Zagallo’s time at Fluminense, where he was Rio de Janeiro champion in 1971 as a coach.
– Above all, he was part of our great history. But Zagallo belongs to everyone in Brazilian football, in world football. A very emotional day, as we say goodbye to a great man and a great, if not the greatest representative of the Brazilian team – said Mário.
