In a new cycle, Tite began his first days at Flamengo, and the arrival of the new coach has shaken up the behind-the-scenes of football. According to former Corinthians player and idol, Emerson Sheik, the connection between the Rio club and the former Brazilian national team coach is considered a "perfect marriage".
— It's the perfect marriage. Tite relaxed with the Brazilian team, rested with his family, traveled and drank his caipirinha. Now go back to work, relax. And at Flamengo nothing worked besides Dorival. Tite arrives to solve the problem, recover players, make Flamengo play the football that Brazil expects from a club that invested and spends so much on these players - said Sheik, in an interview with the program 'Domingol com Benja'.
It is important to highlight that Tite and Sheik had already collaborated in 2012, when they were together at Corinthians. That season, they won the Copa Libertadores da América title. It is worth mentioning that the former player was responsible for scoring two goals in the second leg of the continental tournament final.
Tite's arrival has as its main focus the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, with the aim of qualifying Flamengo for the Copa Libertadores da América in 2024. It is worth noting that there are only 12 games left until the end of the Brasileirão, and at the moment, Flamengo is in fifth place in the table, with 44 points.
With his name already regularized in the Daily Newsletter (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Tite is ready to make his debut as Flamengo coach. His first challenge at the head of the red and black team is scheduled for Thursday, the 19th, when Flamengo faces Cruzeiro.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
