Jayme de Almeida, former Flamengo coach, gave his opinion on why Sampaoli's tenure did not go well. The professional won a Carioca Championship and a Brazilian Cup, in addition to taking Flamengo out of the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship, after taking command of the team by surprise, at the end of the 2013 season, when the club was left without a coach. for football.
In Jayme's point of view, Flamengo should maintain a permanent technical team, in addition to the employees who arrive at the club with the new coaches. This way, coaches, especially foreigners like Jorge Sampaoli and Vítor Pereira, would adapt much faster and better, being able to use the players at their disposal in the right way.
"It's great to have someone to take over in these moments who can help the coaches who arrive. I think it's essential to have a professional for these moments, who knows the club, knows the players, and who can move on to a new coach the things that are important", explained the professional, who performed this role for years at Mengão.
After he was replaced as coach, Jayme continued at the Gávea club helping the teams that arrived until 2019. He even gave an example from his time: "when (Reinaldo) Rueda (Colombian coach ) came (in 2017), he didn't know anyone at Flamengo. And he believed in me. I talked about Paquetá and he put him to play..."
"These are the details that sometimes no one comments on. When you know the players, you know the club, it provides a certain amount of security until another coach arrives. It's much better to have someone steady than what happened with Sampaoli to happen. He was fired, everyone knew, but he didn't leave because he didn't have no one to take over Flamengo. We need a professional like that", he concluded.

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
