One of Flamengo's biggest moves in 2025 was the signing of Jorginho, formerly of Arsenal (ENG).

"First on a personal level, with his family, and then on a professional level, returning to compete in the country of his birth. It was an honor for me to have him here. I made the most of my day-to-day life with him, not only as a player , but also as a person and a leader . I wish him all the best," concluded the coach.
