Last Tuesday night (18), Fortaleza's board of directors used social media to comment on the future of a former Fortaleza athlete Flamengo. This is goalkeeper Santos, who was the subject of speculation at Corinthians. However, in a statement, the team from Ceará "closed the doors" to the desire of the team from São Paulo.

“Fortaleza Esporte Clube informs that goalkeeper Santos is not available for negotiations in the market”, says the short and direct note from the northeastern club. Thus, the São Paulo team received a "door in the face" after seeking to sign Santos and making their first contact with the tricolor team.

SANTOS LOOKS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY

Although Fortaleza stands out Although Santos is not available for sale, the archer is not the team's starter. In the current season, the goalkeeper entered the field only four times, all for the Copa do Nordeste, won by the team from Ceará. Thus, he fights for a space at the club, with whom he has a contract until 2026.

PASSAGE TO FLAMENGO

Santos arrived at Flamengoin 2022 and was a fundamental part of Mais Querido in winning the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. However, in 2023, the archer's season was not the best, with constant failures and even losing the starting spot to Matheus Cunha. Furthermore, the archer became a third reserve.


In total, Santos played 63 games for Flamengo until being sold to Fortaleza for 1 million dollars (R$ 4.8 million) at the beginning of 2024, club that now has a contract until 2026.

Coach Tite is in a delicate situation at Flamengo. After the elimination in the Libertadores against Peñarol (URU), the coach's continuity began to be discussed behind the scenes at the club. Because of this, part of the board is trying to convince Filipe Luís to take command of the main team until the end of 2024.

However, Filipe Luís believes that it is not yet the ideal time to take on this responsibility. The former player currently coaches Flamengo's under-20 team, where he has already won the Copa Rio, against Vasco, and the World Cup, with a comeback victory over Olympiacos (GRE) at Maracanã. The information was released by journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho.


“ Flamengo's management is trying to convince Filipe Luís to be the coach until the end of the year. No one will confirm this information, but no one has denied it. But Filipe Luís wouldn't want to take over, precisely because of the scenario of how things are happening. In other words, Tite is being raffled off in a way that is not appropriate for a coach of his size”, said PVC on the program 'De Primeira', on Uol.


MEETING TO EVALUATE TITE'S WORK TITE

According to the portal 'Coluna do Fla', Flamengo's board of directors scheduled a meeting for the weekend, with the aim of evaluating the team's recent results under Tite's command. Despite this, the possibility of dismissal before the confrontation with Corinthians, in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, is practically ruled out.


FILIPE LUÍS TALKS ABOUT TAKING UP THE MAIN CAST

After winning the Under-20 World Cup title, on August 24, Filipe Luís commented on the possibility of coaching Flamengo's main team. The former full-back highlighted that he still needs to prepare more and gain the fans' trust in his new role before taking this step.

“The responsibility is different today (in the professional world), it largely depends on the result , not my performance. I feel the weight of work, but I'm doing what I love most, what I want and I feel increasingly prepared. I started in the right place, which is at the base. I've been wrong, I've been right. The player was left behind and I have to win the affection of the fans on the other side, as a coach. If I manage Flamengo in the future, I want to be as prepared as possible. But I still have to prepare myself”, said the U20 coach.

The Minas Gerais club played in the middle of the week, beating Fluminense in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, and faces Vasco, on Wednesday (02), in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. Palmeiras, on the other hand, is fully focused on the Brasileirão, after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Flamengo and the Libertadores by Botafogo.
