Rodrigo Dunshee, current general and legal vice-president of Flamengoand candidate for president of the club due to the situation, indicated changes in the department of footballif he is elected. In a recent interview, the director made it clear that he intends to change the profile of the person responsible for red and black football, currently led by Marcos Braz.
“I'm going to put a football technical director, someone more connected to the field, who has a recognized leadership in Brazilian football. Marcos Braz provided a relevant service to Flamengo, but he himself recognized that his cycle has passed. I see that today there is a difficulty for management in having a closer relationship with the field. The coach cannot have a manager wanting to get involved in day-to-day life. But a guy who grew up around football finds it easy to relate to the coach”, said Dunshee, without revealing a name, in an interview with Charla Podcast.
Diego Ribas is tipped for technical directorship
According to columnist Fabrício Lopes, from the newspaper 'O Dia', Dunshee plans to bring in Diego Ribas, former midfielder and idol of Flamengo, to occupy the position of technical director. The idea is for Diego to work alongside Bruno Spindel, who would be retained as executive director.
Diego Ribas wore the Sacred Mantle from 2016 to 2022 and was captainin historical achievements, such as the 2019 and 2022 Libertadores titles. Now, the former player can begin his journey off the field, taking on a leadership role in the club's sports administration.
Gabigol and the renewal negotiations
Regarding the rumors that the renewal with Gabigol would be conditional on specific goals, as published by the newspaper O Tempo, Dunshee was emphatic in denying any agreement with demands from the type.
“The legal deputy always knows before the fact is consummated, as he has to draw up the contract. For me, nothing arrived. But I think it is very difficult for a newspaper from Minas to be better informed than one from Rio de Janeiro”, highlighted the candidate.
The future at stake
With the elections in Flamengo if approaching, Rodrigo Dunshee presents proposals for renewal in football to consolidate the club's position on the national and international scene. The possible return of Diego Ribas, now in an executive role, is seen as a strategic move to add experience and red-black identity to sports management.
