Galvão Bueno, one of the biggest names in the history of Brazilian sports storytelling, is close to making his return to Band. The information came to light after a meeting between Letícia Galvão, the narrator's daughter and manager, and the broadcaster's executives yesterday morning. The meeting indicates that negotiations are progressing and could culminate in the icon's return to the station where he began his career in the 1970s.
According to information from Flávio Ricco, renowned TV columnist, the negotiations are at an advanced stage, and the Band sees Galvão's return as a golden opportunity to boost the audience, especially in sports broadcasts. With a history of great coverage, Galvão Bueno is synonymous with credibility and emotion in Brazilian sport.
BACK TO THE BAND
Galvão's possible return to the Band marks a historic reunion . It was at the station that the narrator began his career in sports journalism, back in the 1970s, before consolidating himself as the main voice of national sport on Rede Globo, where he remained for more than 40 years.Although he said goodbye to broadcasting of football on open TV after the 2022 World Cup, Galvão never stopped being an active figure in the media.
FUTURE PROJECTS FOR 2025
Currently, he is dedicated to projects in streaming and on other platforms, but the possible partnership with Band could signal a new chapter in his career. Band's interest in Galvão Bueno's return is part of the broadcaster's strategy to strengthen its sports schedule. Band already has a robust portfolio of broadcasts, including Formula 1 and football championships. Galvão's arrival could be the missing element to consolidate this prominent position.
Letícia Galvão , in addition to being his daughter, is mainly responsible for managing Galvão Bueno's career. His performance in the negotiations reinforces the weight and seriousness of the project. According to close sources, it was received by Band's top management, which demonstrates the broadcaster's genuine interest in completing the agreement.

Flamengo's elimination in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup against Bayern Munich (4-2) raised questions behind the scenes . For reporter Eric Faria, from TV Globo, if the coach were not Filipe Luís, a dismissal after the competition would be likely .
Eric Faria on Filipe Luís at Flamengo: "He would have fallen after this World Cup"
"Knowing Flamengo after years of covering it, if it weren't for Filipe Luís, the coach would have fallen after this World Cup, just like Botafogo. The way they lost to Bayern, the internal issues with Pedro Arrascaeta ," the journalist analyzed during the Seleção SporTV program.
Eric also mentioned the impact of the club's recent internal turmoil, involving failed negotiations and boardroom interference: "This situation with signings almost announced and then undone, deals without much explanation... I believe it would have been left to the coach, if it weren't for Filipe Luís , the idol that he is and for the work he has done in recent months," he added.
PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD CUP
Despite the early elimination against Bayern, Flamengo performed well in the group stage of the tournament : they beat Espérance de Tunis (TUN) and Chelsea (ENG), and drew with Los Angeles FC (USA), being one of the highlights of the first phase.
INTERNAL CRISIS
Behind the scenes, the club faced a crisis after president Luiz Eduardo Baptista vetoed the signing of Irish striker Mikey Johnston , who had been negotiated by José Boto with Filipe Luís's approval. The decision, prompted by strong backlash, caused tension between the board and the coaching staff.
FILIPE LUÍS SEGURO IN POSITION
Despite the turmoil, Filipe Luís remains a respected coach. In his first season, he won the Brazilian Super Cup and the Campeonato Carioca. In the Brasileirão, Flamengo leads with 23 points and a game in hand . The team has also qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES?
Cebolinha isn't considered a regular starter in Flamengo 's squad, but he's been getting chances under coach Filipe Luís . With Gerson's departure opening up a spot in the starting lineup, the striker hopes to get more opportunities to play and recapture the above-average season he had in 2024.
