Continuing the process of changes in the football department, Flamengo agreed to hire scout William Germano. After two years working at Palmeiras, the professional returns to Mais Querido to take on the role of scout for the club's youth teams.

William returns to Flamengo after two seasons of recruiting talent from the Palmeiras youth academy, between 2022 and 2024. Fla even tried to keep the scout on that occasion, but was unable to cover its rival's financial proposal. In São Paulo, he was responsible for looking for athletes in clubs in the interior of São Paulo and in smaller teams in Brazil.

William Germano has an extensive list of players that he observed and took to Flamengo during his first spell . Among them is midfielder Max, who was revealed at Mengão and negotiated with United States football for more than R$5 million. The athlete is currently at Cuiabá.

On his social networks, the observer has already published a photo of his work in the Ninho do Urubu youth category module and celebrated his return to the club. And he wrote: "Thank you for the opportunity! LET'S GO FOR MORE. GOOD SON, HOME IS TOO!"

The departure of football manager Fabinho Soldado, who accepted an offer to become executive director of Corinthians, led to many changes in the Flamengo's football department. Last Thursday (8), after a meeting of the football council, the club released an official note to confirm three changes in the portfolio.

Luiz Carlos de Azevedo is the new football manager, and Carlos Noval passed to accumulate the portfolios of Transition and Market Management and Base Football. On the other hand, football manager Gabriel Skinner was fired.

There is also the possibility that Flamengo will lose Juan, technical manager, to the CBF. The red-black idol is a request from coach Dorival Júnior, with whom he worked at Mengão in 2022. But the vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, and executive director Bruno Spindel stated that he remains in the portfolio.

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.

A SURPRISING VISIT

Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.

ENTHUSIASM IN THE STORE

The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.

GENEROUS SHOPPING

Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.

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.

MEETING WITH PLAYERS

In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
