Gabriel Skinner will be the new Administration and Logistics manager at Flamengo. This return marks his third spell at the club. He has already played relevant roles on other occasions, including periods between 2006 and 2015, when he was an analyst and marketing manager, as well as football supervisor between 2019 and 2023. Despite being dismissed in February last year, Skinner returns with the mission of modernizing the administrative area and strengthening red-black logistics.


With a consolidated career at Flamengo, Skinner is recognized for his expertise in football management and administrative operations. He brings with him extensive knowledge about the club's internal processes, which facilitates his reintegration and promises to bring quick results. Dekko Roisman now assumes the position of Institutional Relations manager.


MARKET EXPERIENCE


His experience is also a differentiator, having worked in previous management at the club, including the administration of Rodolfo Landim. Roisman is known for his ability to build bridges between Flamengo and strategic partners, as well as strengthening relationships with sporting entities and sponsors.

Both Skinner and Roisman played important roles during the first mandate of Rodolfo Landim. The decision to bring them back reflects the board's confidence in their ability to contribute to the club's strategic objectives.This choice seeks to boost administrative performance and consolidate efficient management.


< Administrative restructuring is one of the pillars of Landim management. The return of professionals with prior knowledge of Flamengo, such as Skinner and Roisman, is a strategic step to strengthen the organizational structure and ensure greater alignment with the club's goals. Flamengo's behind-the-scenes staff must feel the positive impact of these signings. Both professionals have a track record of delivery and results, which should contribute to the stability and growth of internal operations, in addition to strengthening the club's institutional image.

Flamengo secured a solid victory and remained top of the Brazilian Championship in the 20th round. Filipe Luís's team won 3-1, with goals from Pedro (twice) and Plata for Mengão, and Borré's goal for the Colorados.


THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO X INTER


Within the first minute, Vitinho received a yellow card and was suspended for Colorado's next match. The play seemed to portend trouble for the home team, which soon proved to be the case. Six minutes later, Arrascaeta found Varela, who headed the ball to Pedro to open the scoring. Shortly after, the Uruguayan got back in the game, setting up the number 9, who made no mistake: 2-0.


Internacional even tried to respond with shots from Aguirre and Borré, but without much danger for Rossi. On the other side, Rubro-Negro remained in control and even saw Léo Pereira nearly extend his lead with a bicycle kick that hit the post.

FLAMENGO DECREASED ITS INTENSITY


After the break, Colorado came back more aggressive. Gustavo Prado created good opportunities and forced Rossi into two important saves . The comeback, however, was hampered by the visiting team's defensive solidity.

The punishment came in the 16th minute, when Saúl won the ball back from the Colorado attack and passed it to Plata. The striker finished with style to make it 3-0, silencing part of the stadium. From then on, the Gauchos tried to push back, but their lack of precision kept the score intact. The Mais Querido almost scored the fourth through Ayrton Lucas, but Anthoni was denied.

INTER SCORES A GOAL AT THE END

The match gradually cooled down in Porto Alegre. Inter looked for space, but found the red-and-black defense alert and well-positioned. Substitutions were made on both sides, and when the team from Rio Grande do Sul brought on some starters, they managed to break the deadlock with Borré in the 47th minute of the second half.

Flamengo now returns to the field again against Internacional, however, this time, for the Copa Libertadores da América, next Wednesday (20). It is worth remembering that the Rio de Janeiro team achieved a 1-0 victory, in the game held at Maracanã.

Midfielder Arthur, currently without a place at Juventus, was offered to Flamengo this transfer window. The player, who is close to returning to Grêmio , was analyzed by the Flamengo board, but without progress.


According to journalist Venê Casagrande, on his YouTube channel, the Rio de Janeiro club only sounded out values , in a move considered routine behind the scenes, but did not open negotiations for his signing.


ARTHUR'S FOOTBALL CAREER


Arthur emerged as a promising player at Barcelona, but failed to maintain regularity in European football. He played for Juventus, Liverpool, and Girona without much success. Last season, on loan to Fiorentina, he performed well and managed to regain some of his prestige.

For Juventus, the Brazilian made 63 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Still, he's not in the Italian club's plans, and they're considering a permanent exit.


BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF RUBRO-NEGRO

While Arthur's name is being circulated on the transfer market, Flamengo remains focused on strengthening other positions. A center forward and a goalkeeper are the main targets for José Boto's football department.

Lucas Paquetá, a Flamengo talent who currently plays for West Ham, has been linked to a major transfer controversy this summer. The midfielder was speculated about a possible return to the club, having faced accusations of involvement in sports betting manipulation, which could even result in a permanent ban from football.


However, Paquetá was acquitted and was free to pursue his career . In response to the speculation, West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady gave a definitive answer about the number 10's future.


LUCAS PAQUETÁ WILL NOT RETURN TO BRAZIL


In a recent interview, Karren Brady highlighted the English club's confidence in Lucas Paquetá's continued presence. According to the director, there is no intention of negotiating the player during this transfer window.

" I think he wants to stay here, and we definitely want him to stay. So the fact is, he's going to stay here," Brady said, putting an end to rumors about a possible transfer.


WEST HAM MANAGER REVEALS DETAILS

In addition to confirming his continued presence, the English director also revealed the behind-the-scenes story of a turbulent period in the midfielder's career. The match-fixing accusation generated uncertainty about his future , both at club level and internationally.

"It was a very difficult time in Lucas's life. It was a very serious accusation that hung over him , and the FA wanted to ban him for life. So the seriousness of the situation was enormous," explained Karren Brady.
