Carlos Noval, one of the main people responsible for the success of Flamengo's youth categories in recent years, has left management of the club's youth academy. The change was made official recently, and the person taking the position is Ney Souto, until then Flamengo's administrative coordinator. Noval's departure marks the end of an important phase for the club, as he was a key player in the formation of players who today they shine in professional football. While Ney Souto takes the lead in managing the base,Noval went on vacation, which opens up space for the new manager to implement his vision and projects.
Carlos Noval's career at Flamengo was marked by significant successes. Under his management, the club developed a series of talents that stood out both in Brazil and abroad. Players like Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá and Reinier are just some of the examples that passed through Noval's hands and established themselves as big names in world football. His competence and dedication were widely recognized, which makes his departure a relevant milestone in the structure of red and black grassroots football.
FLAMENGO'S BASE COMES STRONG
Ney Souto, who takes over management position, arrives with the mission of maintaining the high standard of athlete training at Flamengo. With accumulated experience in administrative coordination, Ney already knows the club's internal processes well and has a history of contribution in the area. His arrival at the new position promises continuity in the work developed, but with a touch of renewal and adjustments to face current challenges, such as the growing competition between clubs to reveal promising young players.
Noval's departure for the holidays comes at a time when Flamengo continues to be a reference in player development. Even with his temporary absence, the club maintains its commitment to investing in the youth categories, which are seen as one of the strategic pillars for the future of the main team. Ney Souto will have the task of continuing this work and, at the same time, seeking innovations that can further strengthen the structure of red-black grassroots football.
A PERIOD OUTSIDE
Flamengo, over the last few years, has established itself as a true talent factory. In addition to the already established names that passed through the academy, the club currently has a series of promising players who are being groomed for the future. The expectation is that Ney Souto will continue to foster this development environment, focusing not only on training players for the foreign market, but also on supplying the main team with quality athletes, capable of maintaining the Flamengo is competitive in all the competitions it competes in.

Flamengo's under-20 team won its second Club World Cup title in the category on August 23, defeating Barcelona (ESP) on penalties. Shortly after the title, the board began a comprehensive overhaul of the youth squad , which has already resulted in the departure of more than 20 players.
According to information from YouTuber Flazoeiro in partnership with Flabase, 23 players have left the club in recent months . Because part of the negotiations involves buyout clauses, Flamengo could earn more than R$100 million if the teams choose to keep the players.
The most prominent names among those who said goodbye were Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, considered great promises from the red-black youth teams and who ended up playing in the main team led by Filipe Luís.
Flamengo also saw significant departures from its professional squad. Zenit (RUS) paid Gerson's release clause, paying €25 million (approximately R$160 million) upfront. Wesley was also traded to Roma (ITA) for €25 million, and Victor Hugo agreed to a loan deal with Santos, valid until July 2026.

Flamengo continues to adjust its U-20 squad, and after Lorran's departure to Pisa (ITA), it was Luiz Phellipe's turn to leave the club . The left-back was loaned to Athletico-PR, where he will be part of the Paraná team's youth academy until the end of the season.
According to YouTuber Guilherme Flazoeiro, the young man has already traveled to Curitiba for medical examinations. After passing the tests, he is expected to sign a contract with the club , which currently plays in the Brazilian Championship's Série B.
Revealed in Flamengo 's youth ranks, Luiz Phellipe rose to prominence in 2023, still in the under-17s . The following year, he established himself as one of the main players in the squad, participating in 32 matches and scoring four goals.
In 2025, the 17-year-old full-back was promoted to the U-20 team and played 12 games, but failed to find the net. His last appearance came in the away draw against Fortaleza , when he came on for 24 minutes .
Even without Luiz Phellipe, the team led by Bruno Pivetti remains focused on the season, after winning the U-20 Club World Cup . The next match takes place on Saturday (06), at 9:30 am (Brasília time), against Vasco, at home.

Young Marcelo Portela drew attention on social media after a play in which he left Vini Jr. on the ground during a futsal match . The play, which ended in a goal, went viral and catapulted the athlete to national prominence.
His talent didn't go unnoticed. Flamengo reached an agreement with Botafogo to sign the midfielder to strengthen its under-15 squad. The deal involved splitting the player's rights between the clubs. The information was initially reported by the "Flazoeiro" profile.
After the play, Vini Jr. reacted humorously and even took a photo with Portela, a gesture that further increased the video's impact. Shortly after, the number 7 returned to Spain and was instrumental in Real Madrid's La Liga performance.
In the victory over Mallorca, the Flamengo-trained striker scored the winning goal with a solo effort, dribbling past the defense and firing a cross-shot into the net. The result solidified the Brazilian's good form, which had been the target of criticism in his home country.
Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
