Botafogo is looking for a new coach. As long as there is no agreement, Lúcio Flávio remains in charge of the team, which is concentrated in Atibaia, where they are preparing for Sunday's match against RB Bragantino. The SAF has already started contacts with coaches, who would take over for the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship and would only lead the team in the last six games - the chance of any new commander staying in 2024 is minimal, even in the case of a title.

Contacts are being made since the end of the match against Grêmio, on Thursday night. The board is racing to reach an agreement this Friday, but, if there is not enough time, Lúcio Flávio will lead the team against Bragantino.

The board has not yet defined Lúcio Flávio's future. Despite external pressure for dismissal, there is a chance that he will be relocated again to Alvinegro's B team, in which he was at the beginning of the Brazilian Championship, when the team was led by Luís Castro.

The board of directors of social club - with no direct connection to the SAF - has been pushing for change since the defeat to Vasco on Monday. Names like Vanderlei Luxemburgo and Cuca were considered by this wing of the club, but the department led by John Textor did not make official contact with the duo.


Who benefits from this is Flamengo, who sees their rival and opponent in the fight for the title is becoming more complicated, and with that, it could jeopardize the black and white team's position in the Brazilian championship ranking table.
