During the fifth episode of MengoCast, FlamengoTV 's official podcast, aired this Friday (18) , Marcus Vinicius Simões Freire, the club's Director of Olympic Sports, presented an ambitious plan to standardize technical work in the different modalities. The proposal focuses on implementing the so-called “Rubro-Negro DNA” in all categories, creating a development model aligned from the base to the professional level.
The measure aims to transform the way sports are conducted within the club, with head coaches being responsible for transmitting this technical philosophy to the lower categories. Renowned names such as Bernardinho, in volleyball, and the Argentine Sergio Hernández, in basketball, are key players in this structure , and should train other professionals who follow the same line of work.
We are making a change of philosophy..."
"It's not just a change, we're changing our philosophy. We've changed the head coach and the youth team coach, we've brought in an Argentine coach who's won five Olympics, an Olympic medal, a world medal. I've been with him three times in the Olympics . We're hiring a youth team coach and we're defending what we call the Rubro-Negro DNA," he said, before adding:
According to Freire, the idea is not just to make specific changes, but to completely overhaul Flamengo 's sporting concept. " It's not just about making changes, we're changing our philosophy ," he said. In addition to leading, the head coaches' mission will be to train successors who are prepared to maintain the sporting identity, even after they leave.
EXAMPLE OF GYMNASTICS IS THE BASIS OF THE PLAN
One of the great examples used by Freire to illustrate the success of this model is the work of Georgette Vidor in artistic gymnastics. The coach and technical coordinator of the sport at the club created a unique methodology that is applied from the base, having been responsible for the training of athletes such as Rebeca Andrade, Flávia Saraiva, Lorrane Oliveira, Jade Barbosa and Daniele Hypólito.
“ Rebeca, the greatest medalist in Brazil’s history, is almost a ‘daughter’ of Daiane dos Santos ,” Freire said, emphasizing that the sport requires long-term planning and technical continuity to produce great names. The director also mentioned the importance of four, eight or even twelve-year cycles for the consolidation of Flamengo ’s Olympic talents.

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.
Expected values with PixBet:
The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:
The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.
According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.
The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.
Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.
Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .
