Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, recalled the controversial departure of coach Jorge Jesus to Benfica in the summer of 2020. In an interview with Charla Podcast, Landim revealed that he began to suspect Jesus' departure due to clauses and details in the contract. renewal.
"There are things that are true. To say that I was happy when he caught the plane and went there, I wasn't, not at all. We had had a conversation with him. I began to suspect because there were some clauses in the contract, some details, contractual fines, he wanted to receive a glove [signature prize] in the contract...", said Landim.
The Flamengo president explained that he inserted a clause in the contract so that the money would be returned to the club if Jesus didn't fulfill the contract to the end, but the coach's agent didn't agree.
"For me, it was money that would have to be returned to Flamengo if he didn't fulfill the contract until the end. I put a clause in the contract for this money to be returned, but his manager at the time didn't want it. I wanted him to get paid, and if he left the next day, I would lose the money. I said 'I don't accept that'. I'm boring, I read everything, I've been sleeping 4 and a half hours a night for 50 years, I read everything...", he explained.
Landim highlighted that Jorge Jesus' departure caused frustration not only due to the loss of the coach, but also due to the time invested in the renewal.
"I insisted that he take over this commitment to stay with the team, which he did, before I signed the contract. But he left and I was obviously upset. Firstly because we lost a coach who was working and secondly because we lost time. Because if we had this sign, we would have gone to find another technician. To say that because of that I was angry and would never hire him again... is a big lie", he stressed.
Despite the troubled departure, Landim stated that he maintains a cordial relationship with the Portuguese coach and that they continue to exchange messages, showing that there is still a healthy relationship with the former coach.
"Of course I was upset, but I never broke off the relationship with him, we still exchanged messages. When he broke a record [in Saudi Arabia, with Al Hilal], I congratulated him, he also sends messages saying he follows Flamengo's victories", reinforced the president.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
