Before the presidential elections, Marcos Braz had announced that he would not remain at Flamengo in 2025 In a farewell mood, the director experiences moments of reflection, evaluating the work carried out over the last six years with Rodolfo Landim. In an interview, the VP pointed out the two main mistakes made during the period: he could have taken another action to avoid the departure of Jorge Jesus and the dismissal of Rogério Ceni.
"A moment that I should have fought more, should have been more forceful: when Jorge Jesus leaves, Flamengo had a value for Jorge Jesus leaving, this value is financial. I didn't have it for the other coach. Don't ask me why, if the money was the same. That's when I brought Domenec (Torrent)", said Braz, in conversation with communicator Benjamin Back, on the 'Benja me Mucho' podcast. .
"He was the possible technician at that time, on that budget. If I'm not mistaken, I wanted to hire (Leonardo) Jardim. I had even made an appointment with him. When I saw that my budget was 1/4 of Jorge Jesus, I went on the trip but didn't make lunch", added the vice-president.
ROGÉRIO CENI'S DISMISSAL
In addition, Marcos Braz also opined that the dismissal of Rogério Ceni was a mistake in 2021. The coach had won three titles: Brasileirão, Carioca and Supercopa . However, the team's production dropped during the selection calls, and the coach was unfairly fired according to the manager.
" I think it was one of the mistakes I made: sending Rogério Ceni away. I never said that. It's not that I regretted it, because it was Renato (Gaúcho), a fantastic person, fantastic coach. said Braz.
"Flamengo was being very committed in relation to Tite's call-ups, and had a promise from the CBF to extend the championship, which (Rogério) Caboclo (president) falls, the championship is not extended, and we are forced to play crazy, in 18 days we played seven games. Rogério (Ceni) took part of this turbulence, and we did it. the option to leave", he concluded.
It is worth remembering that Jorge Jesus left Flamengo to lead Benfica, even though he renewed with Mais Querido until 2021. One of the factors for the coach to leave the team was the pandemic, as he wanted to return home. In the case of Rogério Ceni, despite having won titles, the commander was fired in July 2021, at a time of many absences in the squad.
