Dr. Márcio Tannure, one of the best-known names in Flamengo's Medical Department announced this Tuesday (07) his departure from the club. After 23 years dedicated to the CRF, the doctor released an emotional letter on his social networks, highlighting his trajectory and the titles obtained alongside the red-black team.
“Today, after almost 23 years and having participated in winning2 Libertadores da América cups, 3 Brazilian Championships, 4 Brazilian Cups, 2 Brazilian Super Cups, 1 South American Recopa, 11 State Championships, in addition to 2 Brazilian Cup runners-up, 1 World Cup runner-up, 1 South American runner-up, 1 Libertadores runner-up and 3 national runners-up , I say goodbye to this club that is part of my life and my family”, wrote the doctor.
Tannure started his career at Flamengo as an intern in 2002 and over the years grew within the club's structure. He worked in several areas, including Olympic sports and youth categories, until taking charge of the Medical Department of professional football.
CHANGES IN DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT DOCTOR
Tannure's departure is directly related to the changes promoted by Flamengo's new management. Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches, better known as Bap, who assumed the presidency of the club, hired José Luiz Runco as general medical director. As part of the restructuring, the command of the Medical Department was changed, and Fernando Sassaki, who led the base DM, was promoted to head the professional cast.
In addition to the change of leadership, the new administration promoted a mass dismissal in the medical sector, terminating 13 professionals. Fernando Sassaki was the only member of the DM from the base from the previous management who remained, but now in charge of the main team's Medical Department.
EMOTION AT FAREWELL
The farewell letter published by Márcio Tannure brought reflections on the challenges of working in football and the pressure faced behind the scenes. The doctor thanked all colleagues and employees who were part of his career and wished success to the new professionals who will take over the department.
“As Roberto Carlos said: 'whether I cried or smiled, the important thing is what emotions I experienced!' I want to thank all the employees and colleagues I was able to work with, leading this department through the most successful period in its history!”, wrote Tannure.
The doctor also highlighted that, despite all the difficulties and external judgments, he always dedicated himself to the maximum for Flamengo's success: “Working in football has never been or will be easy and requires a skill and dedication that many outsiders they will never understand. It is often judged without them knowing what really happens behind the cameras, and you and your family suffer the consequences.”
At the end of the letter, Tannure reinforced his love for the club: “I am sure that I have always given my best to the club with what I was allowed. I have honored this institution with lots of love all these years! Now it's time to remember the happy moments we experienced together and wish good luck to those who will come in this new stage of the club and may they achieve the success that the club deserves! Once Flamengo, always Flamengo!”
The full-back suffered a muscle injury in his left calf and the organization already knows whether or not he will be able to count on the Mengão player at the FIFA Date.

The full-back has already missed 17 matches and has spent 95 days recovering in the medical department. He is also expected to be unavailable next Sunday (31), against Grêmio, in the Brasileirão. Flamengo is working to recover the defender with the decisive duels against Estudiantes in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, on September 18 and 25.

After the negotiation of Matheus Gonçalves with Al-Ahli , from Saudi Arabia, Flamengo must promote new changes in its squad in this transfer window. According to journalist Joanna de Assis, from SporTV, at least four other players are close to leaving Gávea . The information was revealed on the program Tá On, this Wednesday (27).
The names most likely to leave are Victor Hugo, Lorran , Juninho, and Michael, all of whom have no place in Filipe Luís's squad. Victor Hugo has received inquiries from Santos, but talks have not progressed in recent weeks. Lorran is very close to being traded to Pisa, a club in Italy's Serie B.
The Middle East also appears to be a likely market for some of the club's players. Qarabag, from Azerbaijan, has already initiated contacts to try to sign Juninho . Meanwhile, Michael continues to be a recurring target for Arab clubs, where he rose to prominence while playing for Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia.
Flamengo has completed the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli for €8 million (R$50 million). The midfielder had been playing for the U-20 team after losing his place under coach Filipe Luís and was a starter in the U-20 team's Intercontinental Cup triumph.
