Flamengo's search for a new coach following the departure of Jorge Sampaoli could be about to reach a surprising culmination. According to information revealed by Neto, an idol of Corinthians' rival fans, negotiations are underway for Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, to take command of the Rio team. The news generated great expectations among red and black fans, who see Tite as a highly renowned figure in Brazilian football.
Speculation about Tite's arrival at Flamengo points to a possible signing of the contract during the pause in the calendar for the FIFA Date, specifically on October 9th. This would allow the coach to take over the team without coinciding with a direct confrontation against his former club, Corinthians. The break in FIFA Data is a strategic moment for the Rio club, which would have the opportunity to integrate Tite into the squad and align its game vision before returning to competitions.
However, Tite's possible arrival to Flamengo is not without controversy. The 62-year-old coach faced criticism for his previous statements that he would not lead any Brazilian club in 2023. Neto, in his analysis, came to Tite's defense, suggesting that the scenario in football can change quickly and that the important thing is the coach to adapt to new challenges.
Neto also made reference to Flamengo's management, mentioning vice-president of football Marcos Braz and president Rodolfo Landim, suggesting that the relationship with these directors could be a challenge for Tite. However, the former player wished the coach good luck in his possible new venture at the Rio club.
It is worth noting that Tite has been available on the market since the end of last year, when he left command of the Brazilian national team after Qatar's elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, in a clash against Croatia. His vast experience in football and his leadership skills make him an attractive candidate to take the reins of a team as prestigious as Flamengo.
As negotiations progress and Tite's possible arrival at Flamengo becomes makes it more concrete, fans and observers of Brazilian football are anxiously waiting to see how this story will unfold and how the coach will fare in charge of one of the most popular and successful teams in the country.
