The presenter and former player Neto, from Band, apologized to coach Jorge Sampaoli, ex-Flamengo, Atlético-MG and Santos, for offenses made live on the program "Baita Amigos", in 2023. The request for forgiveness took place in a hearing held via videoconference at the São Paulo Court of Justice, according to columnist Diego Garcia, from UOL.
Neto, who was in front of the prosecutor, the judge and lawyers, in addition to Sampaoli himself, he said he acted “wrongly” and asked “forgiveness for the comments”. Therefore, the judge suspended the process for 30 days in search of an agreement between the parties.
The process is taking place at the Criminal Court of Pinheiros, in São Paulo and was opened after Sampaoli filed a criminal complaint against Neto for insulting the Argentine coach as "racist", "hypocrite", "disgusting", "short", "shame" and "small dick", among other things.
The presenter had already been condemned in another process to compensate Sampaoli R$500,000 for saying that the coach had committed racism towards a goalkeeper coach when he was coaching Santos, which Neto reaffirmed even after the conviction.
The Argentine's temperament and relationship with the players are causing concern for the tricolor board; the coach left Mengão in a turbulent way

With the dismissal of Mano Menezes , Fluminense is looking for a new coach and is considering hiring Jorge Sampaoli , formerly of Flamengo . According to the newspaper Extra, the name of the Argentine, who spoke in a recent interview about his inspirations , is on the table at Laranjeiras, but his strong temperament could be an obstacle to the deal.
The Tricolor is looking for a coach with good team management skills , a trait that Sampaoli has not always demonstrated in his time in Brazilian football. At Flamengo, the Argentine's work has faced turbulence, especially after an episode in which a member of his coaching staff assaulted striker Pedro . The incident shook the coach's relationship with the squad, culminating in his departure after the team finished runner-up in the Copa do Brasil to São Paulo.
In addition to Sampaoli, Fluminense is also considering other options, such as Luís Castro , formerly of Botafogo. Although the priority is a foreign coach, well-known names in Brazilian football, such as Renato Gaúcho and Dorival Júnior , are also being considered. The expectation is that the choice of the new coach will take place in the next few days.
In an interview with 'GE', Jorge Sampaoli brought new details about his experience at the club. The Argentine regretted the episode involving his assistant Pablo Fernández and Pedro, one of the most memorable moments of his career at Rubro-Negro, revealing that he even resigned after the case, but the request was rejected by Landim, at the time president of Flamengo .
“That was the end of it all. The team had been growing. We won in Belo Horizonte, which has always been very difficult for Flamengo (...) In fact, I wanted to leave , because it was a fact that changed history. I explained this to the president (Landim), who said 'no, no'. But it wasn't the same . It wasn't because it was something that created a before and after for us”, stated Sampaoli, in an interview with GE.

The Mexican team spoke out this past Monday (31) after being cited by the entity that it could participate in the Club World Cup
|
This past Monday (31), América (MEX) released a statement denying that it had received any invitation from FIFA to compete for a spot in Group D of the Club World Cup. It is worth remembering that on Sunday (30), the entity announced that it is studying the possibility of holding a match between the Mexican team and LAFC (USA), to define who will be in Flamengo's group .
Thus, the match would be held to define who would replace León, a Mexican club excluded from the competition for having the same owner as another participant, Pachuca (MEX). It is worth noting that the new team will enter Flamengo's group.
" Regarding recent press reports about a possible match between América and another team to determine who could qualify for the Club World Cup, it is reported:
América has not been formally notified by FIFA or any other sports authority about its possible participation in the Club World Cup," he began.
If there is any relevant information, we will be the first to make it public.
The team is focused and working to win a title in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the Liga MX Clausura 2025 tournament ," the team announced.
With the exclusion of León, Group D of the Club World Cup currently has only three confirmed teams: Flamengo, Chelsea (ENG) and Espérance de Tunis (TUN).
Therefore, there is still no definition regarding the location and date for the possible clash between América-MEX and LAFC, which will decide the fourth member of Flamengo 's group. However, FIFA emphasized that the match still depends on legal procedures.
