After a series of inconsistent results, São Paulo fans have started to demand the board of directors bring back Dorival Júnior. The coach was responsible for winning the Copa do Brasil for the first time last year and left a good impression on the club. His replacement, Luis Zubeldía, has not yet managed to convince a large part of the fans.
FANS COMPLAIN ABOUT RECENT PERFORMANCE
Pressure on the current coach of the Tricolor has increased after inconsistent performances in the Brazilian Championship and the Libertadores. The team's performance has not been pleasing, which has led São Paulo fans to ask for the return of the coach who left the team with an unprecedented title. The movement on social media has gained momentum in recent weeks.
DORIVAL JUNIOR WENT TO THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM
The coach left São Paulo to take charge of the Brazilian national team, but he faces an even greater challenge. With the Amarelinha, Dorival seeks to put Brazil back among the world powers, but he also faces criticism, mainly due to his performances in the World Cup qualifiers.
While Dorival's name is being mentioned at São Paulo, Filipe Luis remains in charge of the Mais Querido. The coach arrived at Mengão to try to recover the team after a turbulent year and, despite his fluctuations, he has the trust of the board to lead the team in the season's competitions.
Despite the dissatisfaction of some fans, São Paulo's board of directors reaffirms its confidence in Luis Zubeldía 's work. The coach continues to have internal support to continue the project, even in the face of external pressure and requests for Dorival's return. With the rise of social media as a space for debate and expression, Tricolor fans have used platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to call for the coach's return. Hashtags related to Dorival Júnior's name are among the most talked about topics by São Paulo fans.
With a goal from the Uruguayan in the first half and Royal in the second half, Mais Querido overcomes initial pressure from the team from Rio Grande do Sul and maintains its advantage.

Flamengo beat Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul (RS). The Rio de Janeiro team won 2-0 away from home and broke a 28-year winless streak at the stadium.
Juventude started the match with intensity at Alfredo Jaconi, exploiting Nenê's set pieces and posing a threat to Rossi's goal. Gradually, Flamengo adjusted its defense and began to control possession. The goal came in the 31st minute, when Saúl delivered a precise cross and Arrascaeta headed the ball into the back of the net, opening the scoring for the Rio de Janeiro team.
ROSSI HOLDS THE ADVANTAGE
After the break, Juventude increased the pressure, creating chances from balls lofted into the box. In one of the most dangerous plays, Rossi made two consecutive saves on rebounds before the referee ruled the play offside . Even under pressure, Juventude maintained a solid stance to manage the result.
Flamengo 's second goal came in the second half. In the 41st minute, Allan delivered a beautiful cross from the edge of the box, finding Emerson Royal almost in Jandrei's penalty area. The full-back headed it firmly into the net, extending the Flamengo's lead.
With goals from Arrascaeta and Emerson Royal, Mengão achieved another away victory and maintained its lead in the Brazilian Championship, increasing the gap to its direct rivals before its next Copa Libertadores match.
It is worth remembering that Mais Querido returns to the field next Thursday (18), at Maracanã. The Rio de Janeiro team faces Estudiantes in the first game of the Libertadores quarterfinals , where Flamengo is looking for its fourth championship.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper, trained at the Rio Grande do Sul team, refused to renew his contract and could reinforce Mengão after Matheus Cunha's confirmed departure to Cruzeiro.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Grando, 25 , who came through Grêmio's youth ranks, has become one of the most talked about names on the market after losing his place with the arrival of experienced goalkeeper Tiago Volpi.
Seeking more opportunities to play from 2026 onwards, the player recently rejected a renewal proposal with the Rio Grande do Sul club , whose current contract runs until December 2026. The board is already admitting to negotiating him permanently after failed attempts at an agreement.
Grando's name has gained traction at Flamengo , given the need for a replacement in the squad. Matheus Cunha signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will play for the Minas Gerais team next season, opening a gap in the Flamengo goalkeeping team.
Internally, the Grêmio goalkeeper is highly regarded by the Rio de Janeiro coaching staff, according to several local portals that monitor the Rio de Janeiro club's transfer market activity. Flamengo thus sees a strategic signing opportunity.
Standing at 6'4" and with experience in national competitions, Grando emerges as a promising alternative to fill the shoes of Matheus Cunha. The Mais Querido's interest reinforces the search for another athlete to compete with Rossi.
The midfielder's return to Mais Querido is ruled out; the midfielder remains at Zenit, valued at 25 million euros, and could appear at two rival teams of Mengão

Information gathered by Jorge Nicola indicates that there is no environment conducive to a possible return for Gerson to Flamengo . The relationship between the player's representatives and the club has remained strained since his turbulent departure to Russian football, making any negotiations impossible at this time.
According to the journalist, if Gerson returns to Brazilian football, Palmeiras and Botafogo are considered potential interested parties. There's also the possibility of another move from Saudi Arabia, a market that already attempted to sign the midfielder before his move to Zenit.
Valued at €25 million (approximately R$157 million) , the player has a strong relationship with Zenit, which has no intention of negotiating him at this time. This amount corresponds to the release clause paid to Mengão for his transfer. So far, there are no records of official offers from Brazilian clubs for the player.
While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, Flamengo's board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals. José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.
Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.
