According to GE, Tite is considering a knee intervention to improve his quality of daily life. This desire to take care of his physical health has been going on for a long time, as he has suffered from side effects since his days as an athlete. The pain and limitations in his knee have been a constant challenge over the years, affecting his mobility and well-being.


Although the need for surgery is evident, Tite is also aware of the importance of his presence in the world of football, especially as a coach. Therefore, he faces a dilemma. Surgery is inevitable, but timing is a legitimate concern. Will he be able to find the right time to undergo the procedure, balancing his commitment to health and his professional responsibilities?


The issue becomes even more complicated when one considers the possibility of Tite taking over Flamengo . This is a challenge and a tempting opportunity, but postponing surgery can become an obstacle. Both Tite and Flamengo want to make this partnership happen, but they need to find a viable solution to reconcile the interests of both parties.


Tite has already demonstrated his dedication to the sport over the years, both as a player and as a trainer. He understands that his health is essential to continue contributing to Brazilian football. However, he is also aware that his influence is important to the success of any team he manages, including Flamengo.

The pressure is increasing as time passes, and Tite needs to make a decision important in relation to surgery. He is aware that delaying the intervention could prolong his suffering, but he also does not want to disappoint his future employers at Flamengo, nor his loyal fans.


Open and transparent communication between Tite, his medical team and management Flamengo is essential at this moment. Mutual cooperation can help you find a balance between looking after your health and continuing your football career. Everyone's desire is for Tite to have a better quality of life, without compromising his legacy in sport.

Ultimately, Tite is facing a significant personal and professional challenge. He needs to weigh all options carefully, considering not only his health but also the impact of his decisions on the team and Flamengo fans. Regardless of the path you choose, your dedication to the sport and your commitment to excellence are undeniable, and it is an inspiration to everyone involved.

A longtime Flamengo idol, Adriano Imperador made history in 2009 by leading the team to the Brazilian Championship title. However, after the successful season, the striker left the club to join Roma (ITA) in 2010. Today, the former player recognizes that the decision wasn't the best of his career.


Adriano on leaving Flamengo for Roma in 2010: "I think it was the wrong decision I made"


"I think it was a wrong decision I made, and it's not even about the money. I think I agreed to return to Rome more out of excitement than because it was something I really wanted ," Adriano said in an interview with Romário TV .


The Emperor also explained that he felt a kind of duty to Italian football: " Although I owed it to the Italian people , because when I left Inter I kind of left, I didn't give any explanations. It was something I felt I needed to do," he added.

ADRIANO'S TIME AT FLAMENGO


Revealed in Flamengo 's youth academy, Adriano made his professional debut in 2000 and transferred to Inter Milan in 2001. His return to Rubro-Negro took place in 2009, with a huge impact: decisive goals, idolatry and the national title.

In total, adding up both spells, the striker played 92 matches, scored 45 goals and won the 2009 Brasileirão and the 2001 Carioca , establishing himself as one of the greatest idols in the club's history and is still in the fans' imagination.

MENGÃO'S NEXT CHALLENGE

While Adriano now follows as a fan, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18) to face Estudiantes (ARG) , at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The match will be broadcast by ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

After leading the Brazilian national team in two World Cups, Tite arrived at Flamengo in 2023 with high expectations. However, despite a record of 70 matches, 41 wins, 13 draws, and 16 losses , the team's performance and the coaching choices were criticized by fans and management. His last game in charge was a 1-0 victory over Athletico-PR, with a goal by Gerson.


With Tite's departure, Filipe Luís took over as Flamengo's coach and has been one of the highlights of the 2025 season . The former full-back has received praise for his work at the club, while Tite remains a free agent, attracting interest from South American clubs and national teams.


According to GE reporter Bruno Cassucci, the Venezuelan Football Federation has opened talks with Tite to take over the team's leadership during the World Cup qualifiers . The goal is to leverage the Brazilian coach's experience to lead the country through the cycle until 2030.


TITE WILL UNDERGO KNEE SURGERY

According to Cassucci, Tite must undergo knee surgery before making a final decision about his career. Even so, the Venezuelan Federation doesn't see the surgery as an obstacle, as the South American qualifiers are on hold after the last FIFA World Cup.


AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo faces Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The duel marks the beginning of the knockout stage in the quarterfinals of the continental competition. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN , on pay TV, and on Disney+ for streaming.
