The story of Flamengo generates different types of emotions in fans and former club employees when they remember their moments at Ninho do Urubu. This time, Joel Santana, former coach of Rubro Negro, was the one who was moved when visiting the Museu do Mais Querido. Furthermore, the former coach also said that he is proud to be part of history.


"Joy, gratitude, a club that I have been to several times, I get emotional, it's normal. I was part of this history, I left a little piece of my life here. This gives me great pride, not only the club, the fans, the people who celebrate and live for Flamengo. This is a very big force here, it's not just a club, it's a Nation. May it continue to present Flamengo's history from rowing to where we are here, in football, basketball. This is very strong, it's very big", said Joel Santana, in an interview with 'FlaTV'.


JOEL'S DRAWBOARD AT THE MUSEUM


One of Joel Santana's objects at the Museum Flamengo is the drawing board. This is because, during the period he was at Rubro Negro, it became common to see the coach using this work tool. Afterwards, the coach characterized himself due to the instrument he took to the bench.

"Everyone used the clipboard, but they were embarrassed. Now everyone uses a pad, a little piece of paper. The clipboard was the following: no one can play with 80, 90 thousand people and remember everything, so we wrote what we wanted to say. We had, at most, 8 to 10 minutes in the locker room; we have to explain why we are saying what we are saying. That's why that people called me Papa Joel, because I was detail-oriented. It was part of my history. It's here, I left it at the Flamengo Museum so that people can see the drawing board", concluded Joel Santana about the old object of work .


JOEL SANTANA'S PASSAGE AT FLAMENGO

Joel Santana had several spells at Mais Querido. In this way, the coach was on the sidelines for Rubro Negro on 199 occasions. With this, he has 114 wins, 45 draws and 40 defeats. In total, he scored 65%.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (19), the master sponsorship contract with Betano , one of the global leaders in sports betting. The link will begin on August 20, 2025 and will remain valid until December 31, 2028 , guaranteeing the club R$268 million per season. The agreement is considered the largest ever signed in national football.


The partnership includes brand exposure on the uniforms of the professional team and also on Olympic sports such as volleyball, basketball, and women's soccer. Additionally, the company will be featured on Flamengo TV content, expanding commercial integration and global visibility. The board emphasizes that the agreement is not limited to financial support, but opens doors to new business opportunities.


AGREEMENT PUTS FLAMENGO AT 'OTO' LEVEL


With values comparable to those of European football giants, the contract brings Flamengo closer to clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona. For comparison, Flamengo's partnership surpasses sponsorships from clubs like Ajax, whose partnership with Ziggo generates only €8 million (approximately R$51 million) per year. This amount places the Brazilian team in 10th place in the world rankings for largest sponsorship deals.

PRESIDENT WILL PARTICIPATE IN LIVE
