The Brazilian national team is without a coach after the dismissal of Dorival Júnior , but that does not mean that the work at the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is at a standstill while waiting for a new coach. In the coming weeks, the national team's technical committee will continue to observe games and produce reports that will be delivered to the next coach hired for the position. And three names will share the duties.
With the remaining members of the coaching staff in charge, the task will be handled by Rodrigo Caetano, national team coordinator; Juan, technical coordinator; and Thomaz Araújo, national team performance analyst . Some observations will be made on-site, that is, in the stadiums, and one of them will be the match between Flamengo and Central Córdoba, in the second round of the group stage of the 2025 Libertadores.
The duel is scheduled for April 9 , Wednesday of next week, at Maracanã. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). Before watching Flamengo's game against the Argentine team, however, the path goes through the game between Botafogo and Juventude, at Engenhão. Valid for the Brasileirão, the duel takes place this Saturday (5).
At this time, the CBF's plan is to have a new coach for the next FIFA Date, in June. There, the team will have commitments against Ecuador and Paraguay, both for the World Cup Qualifiers.
We aim to define this situation for the games against Ecuador and Paraguay"
"The main focus is on our meetings with President Ednaldo, to define the name of the national team coach as quickly as possible. Our objective is to define this situation for the games against Ecuador and Paraguay" , said Caetano.
Watching Flamengo's games makes sense, since the club usually has a high number of players called up, not just for Brazil. In Dorival's last call-up, the coach took Léo Ortiz, Gerson, Wesley and Danilo. The last of them got injured and ended up being replaced by another Flamengo player, Alex Sandro. Gerson ended up being cut after feeling pain against Colombia and was found to be physically impaired.
FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH
Before thinking about Central Córdoba, however, Flamengo has two games ahead. This Thursday, the opponent will be Deportivo Táchira-VEN, in the Libertadores debut, at 9:30 pm . From Venezuela, Rubro-Negro heads straight to Bahia, where they will face Vitória on Sunday, at Barradão. For the second round of the Brazilian Championship, the game starts at 6:30 pm.

Flamengo will have almost full strength in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores , this Wednesday (20), against Internacional, at the Beira-Rio Stadium. The only confirmed absence is midfielder Erick Pulgar, who remains in the medical department and is not fit to play.
Pulgar had been an important player in Mais Querido 's midfield, but he won't be available. Other than that, all the other players are available to the coaching staff, which guarantees good lineup options and changes throughout the match.
The expectation is that Filipe Luís will send the following formation onto the field: Agustín Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique (Pedro).
Coach Roher Machado's international squad should have: Rochet; Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho and Bernabei; Thiago Maia, Alan Rodríguez, Alan Patrick, Bruno Tabata (Carbonero) and Wesley; Ricardo Mathias.
CONMEBOL announced that Uruguayan referee Esteban Ostojich will officiate. He is one of the most experienced referees in the organization, having already been involved in decisive Libertadores matches , and will officiate another important duel in South American football.
