Jorge Sampaoli, once in charge of Flamengo, has been out of business since losing the Copa do Brasil title, but the news points to a possible turnaround in his career. The Argentine coach emerges as one of the main candidates to take command of the Peruvian national team, which faces a delicate situation in the World Cup qualifiers. The team, led by Paolo Guerrero, suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bolivia in the last Thursday (16), finding themselves in last place in the competition with just one point in five games.
Juan Reynoso, current coach, is on the ropes, and according to information reported by the Peruvian press, his remaining in office will depend, to a large extent, on the result of the next clash against Venezuela at home, on Tuesday (21). The Argentine daily 'Olé' reports that Jorge Sampaoli is one of the favorites to take over the post, along with Jorge Fossati, who already had a spell at Internacional, from Brazil, in 2010, and currently heads Universitario, a Peruvian team.

Paolo Guerrero, captain of the team and one of the most iconic figures in the history of Peruvian football, addressed the situation of Juan Reynoso. For the center forward, the responsibility does not fall exclusively on the coach's shoulders, but must be shared by the entire Peruvian squad. Amid the pressure, Guerrero expressed confidence in the team's potential to turn around the situation in the Qualifiers.
"People will always ask for the coach's head. We are all in the same boat. We ourselves have to turn this around. situation. We can't give up (we don't have to give up)", highlighted Guerrero, who came on in the second half of the defeat to Bolivia. It's worth remembering that Jorge Sampaoli had a troubled spell at Flamengo, being announced in April and fired.
After the loss of the Copa do Brasil title. During his time at Rubro-Negro, there were 39 games, with 20 wins, 11 draws and eight defeats. However, the Argentine's work was marked by elimination in the round of 16 of the Libertadores and a below-average campaign in the Brazilian Championship. Now, the twists and turns in the world of football suggest that Sampaoli may have a new opportunity to leave his mark, this time at the head of the Peruvian national team, in a scenario where the need for results is pressing. The outcome of this story remains in suspense, awaiting the next chapters of the South American Qualifiers.

As initially revealed by journalists Rodrigo Mattos and Bruno Braz, Turkey's Fenerbahçe presented an official proposal to Filipe Luís's staff following José Mourinho's dismissal. The Turkish team positively evaluated the Brazilian coach's work and signaled financial compensation.
However, Filipe Luís quickly decided not to accept the offer. The board, led by Bap, along with the football department led by José Boto, acted behind the scenes to prevent the coach's loss.
After a year at the helm, Filipe Luís has won titles, worked consistently, and maintained a firm stance in leading the team. One of the most talked-about cases was Pedro's, which the coach resolved efficiently , reinforcing his internal management capabilities.
According to Mônica Alves, the Rio de Janeiro club has already submitted a contract renewal proposal to Filipe Luís. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. Initially, the new contract will last for one more season, with the possibility of a two-year extension. Despite the financial compensation offered by Fenerbahçe, the coach preferred to continue working in Rio de Janeiro.
While negotiating the renewal, Rubro-Negro prepares for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A. Flamengo faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.

After the Club World Cup, Flamengo sold Gerson to Zenit St. Petersburg for €25 million. The deal was mired in controversy: the Rio de Janeiro board was angered by the player's and his agent's behavior during the negotiations. As a result, the midfielder was removed from the club's digital museum, a move that caused a stir on social media.
Gerson isn't in great form at Zenit . He was left out of the Brazilian national team's last call-up and has only played six matches in the current Russian Championship. Behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the player is unhappy with his situation in Russian football.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Gerson has not requested a return to Mengão and intends to turn things around at Zenit , where he has a contract until mid-2030. The same investigation indicates that Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP), president of the club's Board of Directors, does not consider opening the door for the number 8's return.
While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, the Mais Querido board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals . José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.
Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.
According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.
The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.
Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .
While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.
