Many players dream of defending the Sacred Mantle, just as many coaches wish to receive an opportunity to coach Flamengo. In an interview, coach Geninho, Brazilian champion with Athletico-PR in 2001, said that he still needs to lead Mais Querido before he can complete his career.

In participation in the program "Mesa Redonda", on TV Gazeta, Geninho answered some quick questions. When asked about "a club he would like to coach, but didn't", the coach immediately responded: Flamengo.


Even though he didn't manage Mais Querido, the 76-year-old coach had the opportunity to command a great idol of Rubro-Negro. In the same joke, he answered who was the best player he led. The coach replied: Petkovic. The two worked together in 1998, at Vitória and also in 2004, at Vasco, and 2008, at Atlético-MG.


GENINHO'S CAREER

Beyond of the Brasileirão with Athletico-PR, in 2001, Geninho also won a Campeonato Paulista with Corinthians, in 2003. The coach also won two state championships in Rio Grande do Norte, a Pernambucano, a Catarinense and a Copa do Nordeste.

Geninho is currently without a club and has not worked since 2022, when he was in charge of Vitória. In addition to Vasco, the coach also commanded Botafogo. In São Paulo, he played for Corinthians and Santos and in Minas Gerais, he managed Atlético-MG. He spent a large part of his career on teams in the Northeast, Central-West and Santa Catarina.
