Even without confirmation that he will take command of Flamengo, the former coach of the Brazilian team, Tite, is already a success among the red and black fans. A movement that has already become traditional in the stands, the cast of look-alikes of players and coaches gained a new reinforcement who was present in the clash against Bahia, at Maracanã, this Saturday. Tite's lookalike took a photo with those present and remained enthusiastic about the possible arrival of the new commander.
During the week, the newcomer had already met with other members of the lookalike team. On social media, he published a record of the meeting with the "doubles" of David Luiz, Gabigol, Pedro and Bruno Henrique, and the fans laughed. "The cast has already approved the new boss", commented a red-black man.
And he even has the right to the Ex Law: Tite's lookalike has also met with Dorival Junior's lookalike, former coach from Flamengo who recently won the Brazilian Cup with São Paulo. "Exchanging experiences with Dorival", he wrote.
Agreement forwarded
Coach Tite, his assistants Cleber Xavier and Matheus Bachi and physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian, trio that makes up the core of the coach's committee, already admit the immediate agreement with Flamengo. The club remains optimistic and already has positive signals from Tite to move forward in the talks, but treats the outcome normally, without rushing. "Everything is progressing normally", admits a source.
The coach is the name chosen for the reformulation process in the last year of the Landim administration, in 2024, and there are no others in the running at the moment. However, he still needs to agree to take over immediately and give the final answer, which is considered by those around him and could happen today or in the next few days. Sampaoli's departure was the last step to convince Tite to bring forward his plans and start at Flamengo, but everything is analyzed calmly.
