This is because the two will put an end to the legal battle they have been fighting since 2023.

The competition will host ten teams competing for trophies and medals for the two best placed teams.


“It is a joy to help children dream about football. I experienced this feeling when I played in my neighborhood, as a child, and I know the importance of never stopping believing in our dreams. I hope these children can have a special day and enjoy all the sensation that sport can provide”, explained Sampaoli, who invited Neto and promised to withdraw the action he is taking against the former player in the São Paulo Court.


The former president of Suderj, Renato de Paula, mediated so that the superintendence, currently presided over by Marcos Santos, embraced the event held by Jorge Sampaoli.


“The Sampaoli Cup shows the size of the Complexo da Rocinha has it for national sport. Chosen by Jorge Sampoli himself, it involves players from the community and other surrounding communities. This competition will be a milestone, as it will soon be added to the city's official calendar. Rocinha shows once again that the image it wants to convey is not that of a violent place, but of inclusion, sport and leisure”, celebrates Renato.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is cautious in its search for a new coach for the Brazilian National Team, with Jorge Jesus , formerly of Flamengo, emerging as the main name. However, the complexity of the negotiation with Al Hilal means that the entity is adopting a patient strategy, waiting for the best moment to move forward, and also expecting a change in the value of the termination fee in early May.


TERMINATION IS LINKED TO ASIAN CHAMPIONS
Jorge Jesus' situation involves factors such as the Saudi club's calendar and the progressive reduction of his release clause. Al Hilal is currently competing in the Asian Champions League , with the final scheduled between April 25 and May 3. In addition, the team is still in the running for the national title, with the championship extending until May 25. If the club remains in the running, the CBF will have to wait until the end of the season to move forward with the signing.


At the same time, the former Flamengo player 's termination fee, which was 5 million euros (around R$31 million ) at the beginning of April, will fall to less than 3 million euros (approximately R$18 million ) in May, making a possible exit more financially viable.


CBF IS CAUTIOUS

Behind the scenes, the CBF maintains the position that there is no defined name or negotiations underway. The expectation is that Jorge Jesus will also adopt a discreet speech , avoiding statements that could generate friction with Al Hilal. In this way, the entity works with time in its favor, evaluating all possibilities before formalizing a concrete proposal.


In addition to the former Flamengo player, the CBF has other candidates on the list and the main names are also of Portuguese nationality. Due to his successful work at Palmeiras, Abel Ferreira has once again been considered to take over the national team. Another Portuguese player, José Mourinho, is also in the sights of the Amarelinha, but both have a similar obstacle to JJ: the current contract with their teams .

France coach Didier Deschamps has been offered the position vacated by Dorival Júnior by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) , as reported by GOAL. The 2018 world champion is willing to work as head coach of the Brazilian national team for the next World Cup.


A foreign businessman contacted the organization's men's national team coordinator, Rodrigo Caetano , to suggest the French coach. There has been no response from the CBF regarding the name yet . The organization's president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, is the one who decides who will be chosen.


Deschamps has a contract with the French Football Federation until July 31, 2026 , after the World Cup. However, the coach will not renew his contract to lead the team after the tournament and, therefore, is willing to move to Brazil before the end of the contract.



BUT SO WHAT? IS THERE NEGOTIATION?



The possibility of Didier Deschamps joining the Brazilian national team is being handled by a Malian intermediary. As mentioned above, he was responsible for contacting the CBF men's national team coordinator, Rodrigo Caetano, and suggesting the name of the French coach. The talks are still in their early stages, but they have the authorization of the current French national team commander.


ABOUT THAT

If the coach has not yet been defined, the permanent technical committee of the National Team is working. This is because the trio formed by Rodrigo Caetano, national team coordinator; Juan, technical coordinator; and Thomaz Araújo, performance analyst of the National Team, will be analyzing games and players from Brazilian football, including Flamengo , which had 4 players called up on the last FIFA date.
