In Flamengo's last games, we noticed something peculiar: the captain's armband changing hands. Against Cruzeiro, Everton Ribeiro was the leader on the field. In the classic with Vasco, the responsibility fell on Bruno Henrique, and against Grêmio, Gerson was chosen. Tite, the coach of the Rio team, hasn't changed much in the starting lineup, but one thing that has changed considerably is the owner of the captain's armband. This strategy is reminiscent of the period in which he commanded the Brazilian national team, where he had 16 different captains in six years.
According to the GE, the criterion of captain rotation, which was also used by Tite during his time at Corinthians , aims to share responsibility among the entire group. It was mainly adopted at the beginning of his command of the Seleção, when he had eight captains in the first 10 games. At that time, the coach sailed through calm seas, with favorable results and enchanting football, and the armband rotation was seen as one of the determining factors for success.
In the 2018 World Cup, Brazil had three different captains: Marcelo, Miranda and Thiago Silva. After being eliminated by Belgium in the quarter-finals, Tite decided to end the rotation and gave the armband to Neymar, showing confidence in the striker and giving him more duties. Giving the banner to Neymar was a gesture of trust, but also a bet on his maturity. However, this decision was short-lived, just seven games, as the coach changed after the attacker attacked a PSG fan.
In the following years, only three players were chosen by Tite to wear the banner : midfielder Casemiro and defenders Marquinhos and Thiago Silva. The latter was the captain at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, until Brazil's elimination on penalties against Croatia, again in the quarter-finals. Since taking over Flamengo two weeks ago, Tite has prioritized building relationships of respect and trust with the athletes, taking advantage of the presence of 11 players already called up by him during his time with the Seleção. In the first two games under his command, the team performed well, beating Cruzeiro and Vasco.
Against Grêmio, Flamengo had the match under control, but ended up suffering a 3-2 turnaround. Tite explained at the press conference that this is part of the knowledge process: “I have the awareness and discernment to know about the work so that this construction, including trust, continues. Including getting to know the athletes and knowing at what important moment they can be used."
With the game against Bragantino postponed by the CBF until November 23rd, Flamengo will not take the field this weekend. The next match will be against Santos, on Wednesday, at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. With 50 points, Rubro-Negro is in fourth place and seeks to remain in the G-4 to guarantee a direct place in the 2024 Conmebol Libertadores. Tite, with his captaincy rotation strategy, is seeking balance and success in command of the Rio team.

After Flamengo's 1-0 defeat to Peñarol (URU), Tite was the target of insults from fans at Maracanã. The coach even became a recurring theme in questions directed to candidates for the club's presidency. In interviews, the main candidates presented divergent opinions about Tite's continued leadership of the team.
Rodrigo Dunshee, a candidate supported by the situation, praised Tite, but stated that he has not yet made a definitive decision about the permanence of the team. coach if elected. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, highlighted that he will need time to evaluate the issue.
Wallim Vasconcellos, in turn, was the most direct in relation to Tite's situation, stating that, if elected, the contract of the coach will not be renewed. Maurício Gomes de Mattos adopted a more evasive stance, without committing himself. Finally, Delair Dumbrosck conditioned Tite's continuation on the results achieved by the end of the season.
Tite's contractTite's contract with Flamengo runs until December of this year, the which puts the decision on its renewal in the hands of the club's next president. The termination fine is calculated based on the technical committee's monthly salary, which is around R$1 million, multiplied by the number of months remaining in the contract. Therefore, if Tite were fired now, with three months left until the end of his contract, the fine would be approximately R$3 million. However, the current board does not plan to fire the coach before the end of the contract.
Recent statements from the main candidates about Tite:“Tite is an exceptional coach, he is our commander. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss the future with him yet, but I plan to do so soon. For now, I don’t have a definitive position on this matter.” (Interview with the Jannuzzi & Abuzze podcast).
Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP):“Given the circumstances that Flamengo faces, it would be deeply unfair to evaluate Tite's performance in a negative way . The club was in a much more complicated situation before his arrival, and he is still competing in three competitions. Responsibility for challenges does not rest exclusively with the technical committee. Let’s calmly evaluate what’s best for Flamengo.” (Interview with the Coluna do Fla podcast).
Wallim Vasconcellos:“Particularly, I don’t like Tite’s style of play. His contract ends at the end of the year and I don't intend to renew it. Football needs to move into the 21st century, and I don’t believe that Tite is aligned with what we imagine for Flamengo from 2025 onwards.” (Interview with Lance newspaper).
Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM):At campaign events, Maurício Gomes de Mattos is usually evasive about Tite's stay, stating that he intends to put together a professional structure to define the ideal coach for the beginning of his management in 2025.
Delair Dumbrosck:“Whether Tite will continue or not, the results will determine. He is an excellent coach, he has a great commission, but only the results will tell.” (Interview on YouTube by Coluna do Fla).

The player, who also had a pass for the Brazilian National Team, worked with experienced coaches and played alongside athletes with a leadership profile. This background prepared him to take on the role of Flamengo captain, a role he has played with a remarkable positive attitude.
Gerson has always shown humility when asking questions and learning from those around him. This willingness to develop is one of the reasons he is well prepared to lead the team. Diego, one of the club's veterans, highlighted Gerson's constant attitude, regardless of the circumstances. "He doesn't get excited about very positive moments and doesn't despair about difficult moments," said Diego. This ability to remain calm and confident, whether in crisis or victory, is what makes Gerson a true leader.
