According to Venê Casagrande, the news of Jorge Sampaoli's dismissal from Flamengo's technical command left many surprised, but behind the scenes at the club, the decision had already been made for some time. The reason behind this sudden decision is the confirmation that Tite, renowned Brazilian football coach, had given his "yes" to take over Flamengo. The announcement of Sampaoli's departure and the arrival of Tite marks the beginning of a new era for the red-and-black club.
The choice of Tite as Flamengo's new coach was not made impulsively. The club's board of directors carried out discreet and detailed negotiations with the coach in recent weeks. The conversations were kept secret until everything was aligned, to avoid any interference in Sampaoli's work.
Tite's arrival at Flamengo is a milestone in Brazilian football. With a career full of success, including winning the World Cup with the Brazilian team, Tite is considered one of the most respected coaches in the world. His playing philosophy based on tactical organization and tactical discipline promises to raise Flamengo's level.
The confirmation of Tite's signing was the culmination of a process that began some time ago. Flamengo's board identified in him the ideal profile to continue the club's success. His experience in dealing with high-level teams and his ability to get the best out of his players were determining factors in the choice.
Sampaoli's dismissal was an inevitable outcome of this negotiation. Flamengo's management did not want to create an environment of uncertainty and speculation around the club, and the decision to act quickly was taken to ensure a smooth and effective transition. The expectation surrounding Tite's arrival at Flamengo is enormous. The red and black fans, known for their passion and demand, are eager to see how the coach will shape the team and implement his playing philosophy. The challenge of leading one of Brazil's most popular and successful clubs is something that Tite is prepared to face.
Tite's arrival will also have a significant impact on the Brazilian and international football scene. His reputation as an elite coach will attract the attention of spectators around the world, increasing Flamengo's visibility and reinforcing the idea that the club is an attractive destination for high-level professionals in the world of football.
Ultimately, Sampaoli's dismissal and Tite's hiring represent a strategic change of direction for Flamengo. The club is determined to reach new heights of success under the leadership of the renowned coach, and fans are eager to see what the future holds with Tite at the helm. The Tite era at Flamengo begins with great expectations and the promise of exciting challenges and achievements.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
