Corinthians also probes the coach who is well respected in football circles
|
0In the last week, coach Tite has been heavily speculated about at Flamengo. With the confirmation that Jorge Sampaoli will not stay at Mais Querido for 2024, the Rubro Negra board is already looking for a replacement for the Argentine and the name that has gained strength internally is Adenor.
With this, according to the commentator and Former player Walter Casagrande, Tite would be a great choice for the Rubro Negro board. He says that the club needs a coach who has a lot of experience and who is respected by all the players and who is also willing to lead the team.
”Corinthians and Flamengo are having a terrible season so far and they made mistakes in everything they did, especially when choosing coaches. These two big clubs urgently need a new coach, but it can't be just anyone, it needs to be a respectable guy, with a lot of experience and who is very horny to lead a club like that. The name for me is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, better known as Tite”, wrote the commentator on his blog on UOL.
In Casagrande's view, Tite has the ability to leave his teams balanced defensively and offensively. Something that Flamengo has suffered since the start of the season under coaches Vitor Pereira and Jorge Sampaoli. Rubro Negro has conceded more goals than scored goals.
”Tite did very well at club level and I have the impression that he will be even better now. He works best by training players every day, he climbs well, he can put together strong and balanced teams, as he has always done, in addition to being great tactically and knowing how to work with athletes. His work at Corinthians was spectacular, winning everything, especially the Libertadores undefeated. He was world champion after beating Chelsea”, he pointed out.
The commentator concluded by saying that Tite would arrive at Gávea with morale, as his record at other clubs is very good. He also says that the coach will have a lot of work to do to reassemble the squad, which needs a lot of 'cleaning', in addition to knowing how to live with incompetent management.
”At Gávea, he would arrive with morale there in above, but because of his history at other clubs. Obviously, he will be required to make the star Flamengo team play well and win again. He will have a lot of work to do to reassemble the cast that needs a radical ‘cleaning’. In addition to knowing how to live with incompetent management”, he concluded.
