Without a club for eight months, Portuguese Paulo Sousa, ex-Flamengo, is back in action. The coach was announced as the new coach of Shabab Al-Ahli, from the city of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Paulo will lead three athletes who played for Mengão: Yuri César, Guilherme Bala and Mateusão. The last one mentioned even worked with PS in Gávea.
Before Shabab Al-Ahli, Paulo Sousa was coaching Salernitana, from Italy, where he managed to avoid relegation two seasons ago. But in the last year, his results were below expectations, which resulted in his dismissal. Local runner-up last year, Shabab Al-Ahli believes that with Paulo Sousa they will return to the path of victory.
It will be Paulo Sousa's eleventh experience away from Portugal. In addition to Brazil, the country in which he trained Flamengo, the coach worked in England, Wales, Hungary, Israel, Switzerland, Italy, China, France and Poland, where he was coach of the national team.
Paulo Sousa was not missed at Flamengo
Paulo Sousa was announced as Flamengo's new coach on December 29, 2021. Upon arriving in Rio de Janeiro, he praised the team's squad. Mais Querido, stating that he was the best on the continent. As signings, he gained defender Pablo, striker Marinho and left-back Ayrton Lucas
But in practice, the Portuguese was unable to make Rubro-Negro have great performances. The runner-up in the Super Cup against Atlético-MG and Carioca against Fluminense made the atmosphere even worse in Gávea. The last straw was the terrible start of the Brazilian Championship, with one of the most expensive teams in Brazil trying to escape the relegation zone. Flamengo paid a fine of R$7.7 million to fire Paulo Sousa.

São Paulo will have an important reinforcement off the field in the duel against Flamengo, next Saturday (12), for the Brazilian Championship. Hernán Crespo, announced as the team's new coach, had his name published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) this Monday (07) and is free to command the team at Maracanã. The match, valid for the 13th round, is scheduled for 4:30 pm (Brasília time).
The Argentine takes over after the dismissal of Luis Zubeldía, who was dismissed due to his inconsistent performance in the Brasileirão. Even though the team is still in the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, the tricolor board understood that the campaign in the national tournament — with only 12 points in 12 games — was insufficient . São Paulo currently occupies 14th place, with two wins, six draws and four losses.
CRESPO MEETS FLAMENGO AGAIN
This will actually be a comeback for Crespo. He already managed São Paulo in 2021, a year in which he faced Flamengo only once — and was defeated with authority . On July 25, Rubro-Negro won 5-1 at Maracanã, with a stellar performance by Bruno Henrique, who scored three goals. Gustavo Henrique and Welington (own goal) also scored, while Arboleda opened the scoring for the visitors.
FLAMENGO LEADS THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The leader of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo, has 24 points in 11 matches — double the score of São Paulo. Tite's team has won seven games, drawn three and lost only one: to Cruzeiro, away from home, with a penalty goal in second-half injury time. This Saturday's match will be the team's first match after the Club World Cup. The match will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).

Rogério Ceni renewed his contract with Bahia at the end of last month . Thus, the question that remains is whether the coach will continue to lose to Flamengo, since out of sixteen games, he has accumulated 16 defeats. In an interview, the former commander of Mais Querido spoke out about the 'freguesia' in the clashes with Mengo.
Rogério Ceni talks about being a regular for Flamengo: "Flamengo loses very few games, if you analyze it."
He continued: "Unfortunately, I became a coach at a time when Flamengo had its best team since the 1980s, when it had Zico, Adílio, Andrade, Tita, Nunes... Filipe Luís played 50 games and had only three or four defeats. In other words, the percentage of the last 50 games, maybe 8% of the teams managed to win against Flamengo. So it's difficult for everyone," said Rogério Ceni , in an interview with GE before adding:
ROGERIO CENI TALKS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEATING FLAMENGO
Soon after, Rogério Ceni highlighted that his team needs to strengthen itself in order to beat Flamengo . He also highlights that mental play is also needed to overcome the Mais Querido in competitions.
"I think we need to grow as a team, and we've already had the opportunity to win, we were very close to winning, we played games against Flamengo throughout last year and were superior. We played a game here at Fonte Nova where Flamengo had a shot on goal and won 1-0 against us. And we had great chances to score," added Ceni.
"The game is very mental, you have to try to have the mental strength so that when you have the opportunity, you score. Unfortunately, that didn't happen against Flamengo. It's annoying, it's annoying, of course it's annoying. And we hope that, despite Flamengo having a great team again this year, having invested a lot in signings, that we can have the opportunity to win this year," concluded the former goalkeeper.
TEAMS THAT ROGERIO CENI LOST TO FLAMENGO
Rogério Ceni has a 100% loss record against Flamengo between 2017 and 2025. The coach faced the team defending São Paulo, Fortaleza, Cruzeiro and Bahia. Thus, the coach has already suffered setbacks against the Rubro-Negro in the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro.
