Flamengo and Corinthians have a meeting scheduled this Saturday (07), at the Neo Química Arena. The teams measure forces in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship, experiencing similar situations, regarding technical command and focus on the season.
Both teams are experiencing several problems regarding coaches. In 2023, Flamengo already had two commanders – Vítor Pereira and Jorge Sampaoli – and is now looking to hire a replacement, with Tite being the current name. In the midst of this, Mário Jorge is at the head of the team, a situation that repeats itself for the second time this year.
At Corinthians, the scenario is similar. In the current season, the São Paulo team has already signed Cuca, Vanderlei Luxemburgo and, now, Mano Menezes. In the midst of this, Fernando Lázaro, assistant to the club's permanent technical committee, had to take command of the team while the change of coaches took place.
The only distinction between Flamengo and Corinthians in relation to coaches is that the The Parque São Jorge team has already appointed Mano Menezes as team commander, following the recent dismissal of Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Rubro-Negro from Rio, on the other hand, ended its relationship with Jorge Sampaoli, and is still looking for a replacement for the Argentine. As said, Tite is the 'hotshot', having advanced negotiations with the Rio club.
Another point that 'brings together' Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo residents is the main focus on the season. This is because both only have the Brazilian Championship to think about, after the stumbles in the other competitions played this year. The difference, however, occurs in the distance and intentions of the teams in the tournament. While Flamengo occupies fifth place in the table, with 43 points, and aims to return to the G-4, Corinthians is in 13th place, with 30, and seeks to move away from the relegation zone.
In amidst similarities, Corinthians x Flamengo takes place this Saturday (07), at 9pm (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo. The match will be valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.
Negotiations between the Portuguese club and Mais Querido evolve towards a definitive sale; the proposal pleased the board, and the contract is for a three-year term

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.

Part of the Flamengo squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning (1) after being eliminated from the Club World Cup. The squad will therefore begin preparing for the rest of the season next Saturday (5).
So, in the coming weeks, Flamengo will face a marathon of games in the Brasileirão. The sequence begins between July 12th and 13th, against São Paulo, at Maracanã. Soon after, the Mais Querido will face Santos, with the location still to be defined. On the 20th, Mengo will play the classic against Fluminense.
On the 23rd, Flamengo travels to face Bragantino. It is worth noting that, at the moment, Mais Querido is the leader of the Brasileirão, with 24 points in 11 rounds.
At the end of July, Flamengo turns its attention to the Copa do Brasil. The Mais Querido will host Atlético-MG on the 27th, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16. Finally, on the 31st, the Rubro-Negro will visit the Minas Gerais team for the return leg.
Thus, with the return of the athletes, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the squad for the rest of the season . Now, Rubro-Negro focuses its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil.
The Mais Querido can still earn more, as there are other athletes expected to leave the club in this transfer window.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.
At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).
It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).
Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).
Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
