In a move that shook the political scene at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, the Paparazzo Rubro-Negro team made contact with former president Eduardo Bandeira de Melo to obtain clarification on the persistent rumors of his candidacy for president of the club in 2024. Instead of categorically denying it, as he did on previous occasions, Bandeira de Melo left a margin of mystery by responding evasively: "Nothing defined for now", limiting himself to this laconic message via WhatsApp. This enigmatic response fueled speculation about his possible return to Flamengo's political life.
Speculation about Eduardo Bandeira de Melo's candidacy gained strength when the page "Essência Rubro-Negra" released information about an opposition meeting, which he allegedly played a crucial role in convincing Bandeira to enter the race for Flamengo's presidency again. This meeting appears to have been the catalyst that made the former president Rubro-Negro reconsider his previous stance of vehemently denying any interest in returning to office.
From that moment on, the federal deputy, who once firmly denied the possibility of running for president of Flamengo, appears to have changed his position. His willingness to explore a candidacy suggests a reassessment of his relationship with the club and a desire to play an active role in its future. This change of stance had a strong impact among supporters, fans and members of the Rubro-Negra community, who are now wondering about the consequences of this possible candidacy.
The name of Eduardo Bandeira de Melo is intrinsically linked to recent history from Flamengo. During his presidential administration between 2013 and 2018, the club experienced a phase of success and transformation, winning important titles and consolidating itself as a powerhouse in Brazilian football. His administration was marked by innovative initiatives, such as financial restructuring and the construction of the new module of the Ninho do Urubu Training Center. These achievements are still remembered fondly by many fans, which raises questions about how his eventual return to the presidency could influence Flamengo's future.
However, the politics of a sports club as grand as Flamengo It is a terrain full of challenges and rivalries. The possibility of a new candidacy for Bandeira de Melo inevitably raises questions about how he would deal with the challenges and changes that have occurred since his last term, including the club's complex financial situation, the demands of fans and competition from other candidates. His decision not to categorically deny his candidacy suggests that he is aware of these challenges and willing to face them.

Rodrigo Dunshee, a candidate supported by the situation, praised Tite, but stated that he has not yet made a definitive decision about the permanence of the team. coach if elected. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, highlighted that he will need time to evaluate the issue.
Wallim Vasconcellos, in turn, was the most direct in relation to Tite's situation, stating that, if elected, the contract of the coach will not be renewed. Maurício Gomes de Mattos adopted a more evasive stance, without committing himself. Finally, Delair Dumbrosck conditioned Tite's continuation on the results achieved by the end of the season.
Tite's contractTite's contract with Flamengo runs until December of this year, the which puts the decision on its renewal in the hands of the club's next president. The termination fine is calculated based on the technical committee's monthly salary, which is around R$1 million, multiplied by the number of months remaining in the contract. Therefore, if Tite were fired now, with three months left until the end of his contract, the fine would be approximately R$3 million. However, the current board does not plan to fire the coach before the end of the contract.
Recent statements from the main candidates about Tite:“Tite is an exceptional coach, he is our commander. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss the future with him yet, but I plan to do so soon. For now, I don’t have a definitive position on this matter.” (Interview with the Jannuzzi & Abuzze podcast).
Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP):“Given the circumstances that Flamengo faces, it would be deeply unfair to evaluate Tite's performance in a negative way . The club was in a much more complicated situation before his arrival, and he is still competing in three competitions. Responsibility for challenges does not rest exclusively with the technical committee. Let’s calmly evaluate what’s best for Flamengo.” (Interview with the Coluna do Fla podcast).
Wallim Vasconcellos:“Particularly, I don’t like Tite’s style of play. His contract ends at the end of the year and I don't intend to renew it. Football needs to move into the 21st century, and I don’t believe that Tite is aligned with what we imagine for Flamengo from 2025 onwards.” (Interview with Lance newspaper).
Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM):At campaign events, Maurício Gomes de Mattos is usually evasive about Tite's stay, stating that he intends to put together a professional structure to define the ideal coach for the beginning of his management in 2025.
Delair Dumbrosck:“Whether Tite will continue or not, the results will determine. He is an excellent coach, he has a great commission, but only the results will tell.” (Interview on YouTube by Coluna do Fla).

But Brasília is a very friendly city, I really like it, and I've already discovered all the main spots we have there to watch Flamengo's games.”
