"I have immense affection for him. I've already met him personally. I've invited him to my birthdays, he was a great red-black guy, he told great stories and he'll really be missed by all of us, but he is with God now", concluded Leandro.
The radio presenter was also a football coach and led Flamengo. Apolinho was a fan of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and coached the club in the 1995 season. On that occasion, he led Flamengo to runner-up in the now-defunct Supercopa Libertadores, with a 2-1 defeat to Independiente, from Argentina.
