The president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, indicated the name of Diogo Lemos, Marcos Braz's ally in the “Conselhinho” of Football, to command the team that must prepare the government plan for the candidate for his succession.

Although the name has not yet been officially announced, vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches has already been chosen to be the name supported by Landim. Last weekend, Lemos, Dunshee and Landim hosted a lunch with allies at the Vamo restaurant, at Flamengo's headquarters, after meeting with the president of Caixa Econômica Federal.

Member of the Football “Conselhinho” since the beginning of the first Landim administration, Lemos increased his space in football last year and even had his name mentioned more than once to replace Braz due to the councilor's political commitments.

Last week, Lemos and Braz had dinner with Dunshee and another candidate for Vice President of Football in a possible Dunshee administration, Cacau Cotta.

Lemos was chosen by Landim to lead the commission responsible for taking stock of his management and preparing the succession candidate's government program. Officially, the management candidate will only be chosen after this plan has been drawn up, but in practice the choice will be made by Dunshee is already done.

Favorite to be Landim's candidate until last year, the president of the Board of Directors, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, stepped away from the president and is rehearsing his own candidacy. The tendency for him to be a candidate was confirmed indirectly by Guilherme Kroll, former vice-president of Olympic Sports, who left the position at Dunshee's request to accommodate a nominee of former president Patricia Amorim.

The election for Flamengo's presidency takes place in December.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO

Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.
