The electoral climate in Flamengo continues at full steam. After the president of the club's General Assembly, Carlos Henrique Fernandes, defined that the vote to define the club's President for the next three years (2025-2027) will be on December 9, a Monday, there were those behind the scenes who tried to convince the leader to change the date.
However, the election remains scheduled on the original date. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Carlos Henrique Fernandes will maintain the vote on December 9th and there is no chance of changing it at first. The choice of a Monday for election day caused controversy at the club. Maurício Gomes de Mattos, pre-candidate for president, called Carlos Henrique's decision “antidemocratic.”
Another pre-candidate who showed dissatisfaction with the decision was Wallim Vasconcelos. In an interview with Charla Podcast, Flamengo's former vice-president of finance questioned the choice of president of the General Assembly and said that the date excludes red-black people who live outside Rio de Janeiro from voting, as there is no vote to distance in the election.
“Carlos Henrique (president of the Assembly), why hold an election on Monday? You were a supporter of the election on Saturday in 2021. Review your position. People who live outside of Rio, who want to come and vote, there is a game on the 8th (Sunday), the last game of the championship that, God willing, Flamengo will be nine times Brazilian champion. It will be done on the 7th (Saturday). Guys, come on the 7th, we'll have the red-black democracy party and on the 8th we'll all go to Maracanã, or even have a fan-fest in Gávea”, said Wallim, who reinforced his speech in a post on X (former Twitter).
The elections in Flamengo remain busy with more and more pre -candidates entering the election. At the moment, there are six who have put themselves in the position of succeeding Rodolfo Landim at the end of his term. They are: Rodrigo Dunshee, current candidate, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Wallim Vasconcelos, Pedro Paulo and José Carlos Peruano. The deadline for registration of tickets will be between the 10th and 30th of September.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

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.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

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.
