Since Jorge Jesus' brilliant time at Flamengo in 2019, with several achievements and great numbers, eight other coaches have coached the club, in addition to an interim one. Of those eight, seven of them underperformed. Only Dorival managed to have a good job, with Copa do Brasil and Libertadores titles, but he was fired at the end of the 2022 season.
Tite arrived at Rubro-Negro in 2023, going undefeated at the start of the season this year, but is on a bad run of results, and has a chance of being left out of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Check out the performance of Flamengo's coaches since 2019, below.
Jorge Jesusleft Mais Querido at the beginning of 2020 after a year and a month leading the team. There were 58 games in the meantime, with an 81.6% success rate and some titles to count. None of his successors managed to reach such numbers.
With four months in 2021, Renato Gaúcho was the one who achieved almost as good performance as Mister. Over the course of 37 games he reached the 72% success rate, even without any major titles to his name.
What may impress many fans is that Tite is still Flamengo's third best coach in terms of success (68.5%), even after a sad sequence of games in recent weeks. The former Brazilian national team has been in charge of Mais Querido for seven months and has already been in charge of 37 matches.
4. Maurício Souza (*interim): Use of 68.4%; 19 games with around 3 months (2021/22)
5. Paulo Sousa: Use of 66.7%; 32 games with five months (2022)
6. %; 26 games in less than four months (2020) 7. Jorge Sampaoli: 60.7% success 39 games in five months (2023) Dorival Júnior 8. : 59.3% usage; 43 games with almost six months (2022) 9. Rogério Ceni: 59.3% usage; 45 games with eight months
10. Vítor Pereira: 57.4% success; 18 games in three months (2023)

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
