Leandro Damião, former Flamengo athlete, signed a contract with Coritiba where he is expected to play until the end of the 2024 Brazilian Series B Championship. The striker, in high spirits, performed at the Paraná club this Monday (12).
With Slimani's departure, Coritiba searched the market for an athlete who could take on the team's number 9 shirt, and found a worthy successor in the figure of Damião. Despite having already performed, the 34-year-old athlete undergoes a series of medical examinations to finally be integrated into the squad.
The signing will mark the center forward's reunion with coach Guto Ferreira, his coach at Internacional in 2017. In fact, Ferreira contacted the athlete particularly to convince him to wear the Coritiba shirt, which directly influenced his decision.
Last week, Leandro used social media to express his enthusiasm and the optimism involved in this hiring. “Expectations are high. This is a historically champion club and I am extremely motivated by challenges. Alongside my teammates, we will achieve great results and bring joy to this passionate fan base”, he declared.
The athlete had played for Kawasaki Frontale in Japan since 2018, where he played 178 matches, scored 71 goals and conceded 24 assists. At the beginning of this year, Damião terminated his contract with the club where he won two J-Leagues, one Emperor's Cup, one Japanese League Cup and two Japanese Super Cups.

In mid-2016, Leandro Damião began his career at Flamengo through a loan from Santos. The number 9 debuted in August during a match where Mengão was defeated by Sport 1-0. However, the bitter debut was soon forgotten, as in the same month the striker scored his first goal for Flamengo in a victory against Grêmio for 2 to 1.
Damião scored again in the next game against Chapecoense. In 2017, the player enjoyed his best season at Flamengo, scoring eight goals, three of them in a match against Portuguesa da Ilha.
The athlete ended his career with Mais Querido in the same year, when he returned to Internacional , the club where he began his career. At Flamengo, Leandro Damião played in 40 games and scored 11 times.

Flamengo idol Adriano Imperador stated in an interview that he played more than some of the biggest names in world football. With a career marked by talent, physical strength, and humility , "Didico" continues to be fondly remembered by Flamengo fans.
During an appearance on the show Boteco do Chula, Adriano was asked if he had performed at a higher level than stars like Ronaldo, Romário, Ibrahimovic, Mbappé, Lewandowski, and Gabigol . The former player candidly stated that he considers himself superior to some of them.
In the Emperor's opinion, Kyllian Mbappé, Robert Lewandowski, and Gabigol are behind him . However, according to Adriano himself, Romário, Ibrahimovic , and Ronaldo Fenômeno are in a higher tier.
Adriano's most significant connection with the club came in the 2009 Brazilian Championship . During that campaign, the striker played in 30 of the 38 rounds, scoring 19 goals and contributing four assists. With him on the field, the team recorded 15 wins, seven draws, and eight losses. This victory was decisive not only for the club's recent history, but also for the Emperor's career.
Adriano recalls that title as the greatest moment of his career on the field. In a recent interview with GE, he highlighted the team's unity as a determining factor in winning the trophy: " Theoretically, I was down there, the team wasn't doing well. An unforgettable title for me. The group was very good. We really came together, and that made it possible for us to be champions, for sure ."
