The club was in the process of negotiating with the coach, who did not respond to the proposal, losing the position to another coach
|
Athletico-PR gave up on hiring Doménec Torrent to lead its team during the 2024 season. The team was interested in the former Flamengo coach, but, after the lack of a positive response from the Spaniard, Furacão announced the signing of Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio, last Wednesday (03), and he has already started activities at the Curitiba club this Friday (05).
Although the former Flamengo coach is one of the first options from Athletico-PR, which had been looking for a coach since November 2023, negotiations with Domènec Torrent were not concluded. This is because the club from Paraná made an official proposal with a contract valid until the end of 2024 and was waiting for a response from the Spanish commander by December 23rd.
Domènec Torrent, however, did not respond to Athletico's proposal -PR on time. This is because, leaving Flamengo with little work time (around four months) left the coach afraid of Brazilian football. Therefore, the Spaniard wanted a long-term project and demanded guarantees, such as a termination fine, which is something the team from Paraná has avoided for a few years.
Athletico saw the Spanish coach as an opportunity to build a base solid and competitive to face the challenges that lie ahead and, according to journalist Raísa Simplício, the interest was mutual, at least at the beginning of December. The negotiations, conducted discreetly, were being sent to the final phase, where contractual details were being discussed.
DOMÉNEC IN FLAMENGOIt is worth remembering that Domenèc was responsible for taking over the team in 2020, after Jorge Jesus resigned to return to work at Benfica. He was announced by Fla on July 30th, with a contract until the end of 2021. However, he ended up only staying for around four months, when he was fired at the beginning of November.
Expectations The public, in general, has always been very positive about the coach, given his impressive CV. He had many years of partnership with fellow Catalan coach Pep Guardiola and had successful experiences alongside the renowned coach. However, the recurrent defeats suffered and the poor coexistence with part of the Flamengo squad undermined the commander's work at Mais Querido.
He left Mengão with a performance of 63.8%, which, to put it mildly, in comparison, it is slightly worse than the performance that Jorge Sampaoli had in charge of the team (64.4 performance).
Like Rubro-negro, Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24

The Rio club is looking for reinforcements at right-back, and the 23-year-old from CSKA is on the radar
|
Flamengo, looking for reinforcements at right-back after Wesley's imminent departure to Italian football, turns his attention to Khellven, a player who currently plays for CSKA, from Russia. The athlete, who previously played for Athletico-PR, has been standing out in transfer market speculation and could be the Rio club's next target.
CSKA established a considerable amount for the player's release, stipulating it at 7 million euros, approximately R$41 million, according to the current price. This amount is significantly higher than the 4.5 million euros (around R$23.7 million) paid by the Russian club to Athletico-PR in August last year, almost double the original amount. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Currently, Flamengo evaluates aspects such as Khellven's salary and his interest in returning to Brazil, but has not yet made a formal proposal to CSKA. This season, the 23-year-old player played 38 matches, starting 30 of them, with a balance of one goal scored and six assists.
Khellven, who was part of the Brazilian team in the Pre-Olympic alongside Endrick, from Real Madrid, has 175 games for Athletico-PR, with eight goals and 22 assists. At Furacão, he won the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa do Brasil, consolidating his career in Brazilian football before his transfer to Europe.
