Flamengo terminated the contract with Jorge Sampaoli on September 28th. The coach signed the contract termination last week and it has now been published in the Daily Newsletter (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Therefore, the Argentine is officially separated from the club.
The marriage between Flamengo and Jorge Sampaoli did not work out. Hired to replace coach Vitor Pereira who lost all the titles played at the beginning of the season, the Argentine failed to classify Rubro Negro in the following stages of the Libertadores and was runner-up in the Copa do Brasil.
Furthermore, the coach did not speak to the club's employees and players. During his time at Mais Querido, there was confusion between his physical trainer and an athlete from Rubro Negro and aggression between players. Sampaoli always said that these conflicts were not his problem, which left the situation unsustainable.
Therefore, after days of negotiations, Flamengo has a new coach to lead the professional squad. Tite was the name chosen by Rubro Negro's board of directors to lead the team until the end of December 2024. Mais Querido's new commander began work this Tuesday (10).
With a new commander at the head of the club, the Rubro Negro squad will take advantage of the break in the Brazilian Championship to be able to focus on preparing for the next match which will be on October 19th, against Cruzeiro, at Estádio Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
