Tite's presentation as Flamengo's new coach took place this Monday (16), at Ninho do Urubu. The event was scheduled to take place this Tuesday (17), but was brought forward, starting at 2:30 pm (Brasília time). Tite has already been leading the team for a week, having been announced last Monday (09).
In addition to the journalists, some of the club's representatives were present, such as Reinaldo Belotti and president Rodolfo Landim, as well as the leaders of the football department, Marcos Braz (vice-president) and Bruno Spindel (director). Landim was the first to speak and he started talking about how obvious all of the coach's achievements are.
"Talking about Tite's quality, I think it's wasting time. Everyone here knows the work he did, how much he was a winner", said Landim, making reference to the fact that he was World Champion with Corinthians and has another Libertadores, two Brasileirãos and two state championships on his resume.
"I think he has a DNA with the face of Flamengo and I think that the expectations we have for work are the best possible", added the president, who was the one who most supported the hiring of the ex-Seleção after Jorge Sampaoli's dismissal was carried out weeks ago .
"I'm even happier to see, in the contact I have with the team here, the smile in their eyes, the desire that everyone has to embrace this work", said Landim, explaining how the atmosphere in the Training Center is much better than when the Argentine was in charge, which was full of fights and bad looks, as well as enmity.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
