Tite arrived at Flamengo at the end of 2023, bringing with him great expectations from the fans. Former coach of the Brazilian team in the last two World Cups, despite the results below expectations, he still enjoyed great prestige. However, according to Galvão Bueno, this prestige was not taken into consideration by the board when deciding to dismiss him.


According to Galvão, Tite already felt that he would be dismissed shortly after the victory over Athletico-PR, in the Brasileirão, on Sunday (29 ). His attitudes during the press conference indicated that he foresaw the outcome.


“Tite’s work wasn’t good, it wasn’t as expected, it started well, it didn’t develop, it was bad… but he is a prestigious coach with two World Cups. That's not how it's done. I think Tite was already waiting because at the press conference he asked for help all the time, he couldn't speak. He held on,” said Galvão.


The communicator also criticized Flamengo's management again, highlighting the amount spent on termination fines and the number of coaches fired since leaving by Jorge Jesus.

“I want to remember some things that this direction has done since 2020. Seven coaches after Jorge Jesus. 55 million reais in compensation. The fans complain and have always complained. All fans do this. Maybe the leader doesn’t have the emotional balance to deal with this”, emphasized the narrator.


Galvão questions board decisions on coaches

During the “Landim era”, Flamengo already had ten coaches in charge. From Abel Braga to Tite, only Jorge Jesus was not fired, having chosen to leave on his own.

Based on this, Galvão pointed out that the real problem lies in the decisions of the board, which has failed in this aspect, according to him .

“They have the pen and can fire. But who is going to fire them? Flamengo's problem, more than the coach, more than the player... Flamengo's management makes mistakes after mistakes. There are seven technicians fired. Is the work of a board like this correct?”, criticized Galvão Bueno.

Now, Filipe Luís takes over Flamengo, initially as an interim, with less than a year of experience as a coach. He faces the challenges of the Copa do Brasil and the fight at the top of the Brasileirão table.
