Edmundo, one of the great center forwards in the history of Brazilian football and Vasco's idol, had a discreet spell at Flamengo, despite the high expectations surrounding his arrival at the club. On his YouTube channel, the former player recalled how he went to Flamengo after a successful career at Palmeiras, which came to an end due to high costs, at which point Flamengo made an attractive proposal.
“No Palmeiras I was paid by the investor, Parmalat. But, I started to get expensive. In 1995, the year I went to Flamengo, it was the worst year for Palmeiras/Parmalat in Brazil in terms of investments and achievements. Flamengo appeared in the form of Kleber Leite, he told me a story and I ended up going”, revealed Edmundo.
About his brief stay at Flamengo, Edmundo stated that he regrets it, although he has no resentment against the club. He highlighted that the experience was not successful due to problems in the "project" in which he was involved.
“It was the worst decision I made in my life. Nothing against the club, Flamengo, but, yes, with the people. They weren't nice to me. It wasn't against my will, it was a matter of moment, occasion. p>Edmundo apologizes to Vasco fans for playing for Flamengo
Considered one of Vasco's greatest idols, Edmundo left Flamengo amid a troubled spell and soon transferred to the Rio rival In his video, the former player also mentioned that some people within Flamengo were "mean" to him, taking advantage of the moment to apologize to the Vasco fans for his brief stay at the red-black club.
“I have nothing against the Institution, it didn't do anything to me, but people were very bad to me. Then I went to Vasco, I created my relationship with Vasco. It's part of life and you have to continue. If Vasco fans are bothered, I apologize”, said the 'animal'.
During the period he was at Flamengo, Edmundo played 23 games and scored nine goals, remaining at the club for just four months .

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.
According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.
The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.
Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .
While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.
After a turbulent start, the Mais Querido director reduces public exposure, improves the internal environment and conducts strategic negotiations to strengthen the squad.

After a turbulent start to the season, Boto decided to reduce external communication and focus on internal results. The Flamengo director, who initially spoke openly to the press, both after matches and through digital channels, decided to change his stance after successive leaks of important information .
At the request of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) after a long meeting, Boto stopped any direct contact with major media outlets , starting to work more privately behind the scenes at the club.
The change in approach was accompanied by results . After a positive transfer window, in which he sought to fulfill coach Filipe Luís's main requests, the manager also managed to calm internal friction. Players like Arrascaeta , De La Cruz, and Pedro, who previously had a distant relationship with Boto, now have a more fluid and relaxed dialogue.
Currently, Boto continues working on specific renewals, such as those of Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta. He also participated in sales negotiations for promising young players from the youth academy , such as Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, reinforcing the strategic and quiet approach of his management.
While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season.
