''TITE ARRIVES TO ORGANIZE'', SAYS FLAMENGO IDOL ABOUT NEW TECHNICAL

Champion of 'everything' for Mais Querido, makes some observations about the coach's arrival

Within the group management approach, motivation became a fundamental topic to be worked on by the new technical committee. According to Diego Ribas, it is essential to establish internal competition, and he also highlights that the motivation of a squad that has already won countless titles is intrinsically linked to the role of the coach.

Employees who work at the Training Center have described the daily routine as "lighter and much more human" under Tite's leadership. The coach is betting on a closer management style, valuing direct and personal contact, in an attempt to deepen what Diego Ribas identifies as the main characteristic and possibly the key to success at Flamengo: group management.

- Tite arrives to organize all the motivation. When the player feels that the coach values this, has conviction and knows what he is doing, this is more than enough to stay motivated. I believe that Tite is aware of this and has everything to succeed - he said in an interview with ge.

- I believe that motivation and wanting to win on the part of the players has never been lacking and will never be lacking. This story that some people say, that they have already won a lot and there is no motivation, in my opinion is a big lie. Flamengo's environment is one where there is a lot of demand for results, it is constant pressure. The player who decides to continue there is fully aware of this, that he needs the result - he concluded.

Tite ended his first week of work at Flamengo with a tribute from the club, in anticipation of his debut scheduled for the 19th against Cruzeiro. His first day at Ninho do Urubu took place last Tuesday, when the trainer took advantage of the morning to explore and familiarize himself with every detail of the training center, as well as starting to build relationships with all the people who walk around the place.

Flamengo improves net margin at Maracanã and can make money in the 2025 Brasileirão

Mengão appears to have found a solid path to boosting its finances at Maracanã. After years of struggling with tight margins, the club has now achieved a surplus.

Flamengo's management at Maracanã has a surplus as the club stops spending high amounts, now with promising profits (Flamengo)

In the victory over São Paulo in the 13th round of the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro reached the mark of R$3,064,971.11 in net profit. It was the first time in the competition that the club surpassed the R$3 million mark in net revenue. The match had 63,300 paying spectators, the largest attendance of the championship so far.

HIGH PERCENTAGE AND MARKET VALUES

The net income to gross revenue ratio rose from less than 50% in the first rounds to 65.3% in the match against São Paulo . This increase represents a significant structural change for the club's finances.

The main factor behind the increased profit margin was the reduction in Maracanã's operating expenses. In 2024, these costs frequently exceeded R$850,000 per game . By 2025, they had fallen to an average of between R$660,000 and R$755,000.

Comparison of operating expenses:

1st round (International): R$ 965,334.97

4th round (Youth): R$ 857,345.20

6th round (Corinthians): R$ 755,866.78

8th round (Bahia): R$ 707,581.06

9th round (Botafogo): R$ 694,786.64

11th round (Fortaleza): R$ 668,322.85

13th round (São Paulo): R$ 680,948.98

FLAMENGO'S THANKS AND MANAGEMENT

The net margin growth curve is clear. In its debut against Internacional, Flamengo earned just 47.5% of gross revenue (R$1.5 million net). In the next home match, against Juventude, the margin dropped to 38.9%. But the recovery came quickly: against Corinthians in the 6th round, the margin jumped to 62.9%, remaining stable until the record against São Paulo.

Financial performance by round at Maracanã:

1st round (Inter): R$ 1.50 million net (47.5%)

4th round (Youth): R$0.89 million (38.9%)

6th round (Corinthians): R$2.81 million (62.9%)

8th round (Bahia): R$2.07 million (59%)

9th round (Botafogo): R$2.34 million (60.3%)

11th round (Fortaleza): R$2.36 million (61.7%)

13th round (São Paulo): R$3.06 million (65.3%)

Optimistic projection: R$7 million more

If Flamengo maintains its current 65% margin until the end of the Brasileirão, it could add an additional R$7 million to its coffers from games at Maracanã alone. A comparison with 2024 makes this gain even more evident.
