The coach even became a recurring theme in questions directed to candidates for the club's presidency. In interviews, the main candidates presented divergent opinions about Tite's continued leadership of the team.
Rodrigo Dunshee, a candidate supported by the situation, praised Tite, but stated that he has not yet made a definitive decision about the permanence of the team. coach if elected. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, highlighted that he will need time to evaluate the issue.
Wallim Vasconcellos, in turn, was the most direct in relation to Tite's situation, stating that, if elected, the contract of the coach will not be renewed. Maurício Gomes de Mattos adopted a more evasive stance, without committing himself. Finally, Delair Dumbrosck conditioned Tite's continuation on the results achieved by the end of the season.
Tite's contract
Tite's contract with Flamengo runs until December of this year, the which puts the decision on its renewal in the hands of the club's next president. The termination fine is calculated based on the technical committee's monthly salary, which is around R$1 million, multiplied by the number of months remaining in the contract. Therefore, if Tite were fired now, with three months left until the end of his contract, the fine would be approximately R$3 million. However, the current board does not plan to fire the coach before the end of the contract.

Rodrigo Dunshee:
“Tite is an exceptional coach, he is our commander. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss the future with him yet, but I plan to do so soon. For now, I don’t have a definitive position on this matter.” (Interview with the Jannuzzi & Abuzze podcast).
Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP):
“Given the circumstances that Flamengo faces, it would be deeply unfair to evaluate Tite's performance in a negative way . The club was in a much more complicated situation before his arrival, and he is still competing in three competitions. Responsibility for challenges does not rest exclusively with the technical committee. Let’s calmly evaluate what’s best for Flamengo.” (Interview with the Coluna do Fla podcast).
Wallim Vasconcellos:
“Particularly, I don’t like Tite’s style of play. His contract ends at the end of the year and I don't intend to renew it. Football needs to move into the 21st century, and I don’t believe that Tite is aligned with what we imagine for Flamengo from 2025 onwards.” (Interview with Lance newspaper).
Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM):
At campaign events, Maurício Gomes de Mattos is usually evasive about Tite's stay, stating that he intends to put together a professional structure to define the ideal coach for the beginning of his management in 2025.
Delair Dumbrosck:
“Whether Tite will continue or not, the results will determine. He is an excellent coach, he has a great commission, but only the results will tell.” (Interview on YouTube by Coluna do Fla).

This Saturday (02), coach Filipe Luís released the list of players related to the confrontation .
Filipe Luís is still without Michael and Danilo, both of whom have been medically injured. Nico De La Cruz remains out, undergoing physical reconditioning. Flamengo, on the other hand, will have important reinforcements for the match. Arrascaeta and Jorginho, who missed the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG , are back. The recent debuts of Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Saúl are also among the highlights of the call-up.
Two names were left off the list for specific reasons. Luiz Araújo was rested due to physical activity management, aiming to avoid strain that could lead to muscle injuries . Goalkeeper Matheus Cunha was not included due to patellar tendinitis in his left knee. Both remained in Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo heads into the 18th round of the Brasileirão (Brazilian Championship) as leader, with 36 points. Cruzeiro, with 34, is second, but has already played one more match.

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) Prosecutor's Office has charged Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique with alleged match-fixing. In response, the number 27's defense issued a statement to the 'Coluna do Fla' portal, refuting the accusation.
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The athlete's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed."
Despite the complaint, Bruno Henrique remains free to play until the case is judged and should be included normally for the game between Flamengo and Ceará, this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, at Arena Castelão.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
The complaint will still be analyzed, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
José Boto and Filipe Luís still see the need to have two more athletes to strengthen Mengão's squad for the sequence

Flamengo's transfer window isn't over yet . Football director José Boto is still looking for two specific reinforcements to further strengthen the squad led by Filipe Luís . The club has already signed five players, but the board believes there are still gaps to be filled. This information comes from the 'GE' portal.
The main movement continues to be for Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltrán . A deal with the Italian club is already in place, and now the only thing left to do is convince the player. The Argentine, who was initially reluctant about a return to South American football, is beginning to welcome the club's offer .
In addition to a striker, Flamengo is seeking another defender. The need has been evident in recent games. With Danilo injured, only Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira remain as reliable options . Since Filipe Luís rarely uses the youngsters from the youth academy, the starting duo's fatigue has been noticeable—especially in the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, where their physical and mental fatigue was evident in the goal conceded. Although signing a defender is not considered a priority, the topic is being discussed internally, and José Boto is evaluating options on the market.
Flamengo still has time to finalize new deals. The transfer window in Brazil opened on July 10th and will remain open until September 2nd. Despite this, the board believes that the sooner the reinforcements are finalized , the sooner coach Filipe Luís will be able to count on a full squad.
So far, the club has signed five players : Saúl Ñíguez and Samuel Lino, both from Atlético Madrid; Emerson Royal, a right-back from Milan; Jorginho, a former Arsenal midfielder, signed during the Club World Cup transfer window; and Jorge Carrascal, a Colombian midfielder from Dynamo Moscow, who is already in Rio and should be officially confirmed soon. With the transfer window open until early September, more news is expected in the coming days.
