Jorge Sampaoli's departure from Flamengo, five months after his hiring, was yet another case that increased the number of coaches who left their positions after just a few months of work. While there is still no agreement with Tite, the team is coached by Mário Jorge, under-20 coach, and the last other commanders continue their careers in other places and positions. See where they are.
Vitor Pereira
Recently fired, Sampaoli still doesn't have a new destination after leaving Flamengo. But the previous commander, Portuguese Vitor Pereira, is back on active duty. Since leaving the red-black team in April, the coach has taken advantage of the period to spend time with his family in his home country. But Spanish press sources already say that the next job will begin soon, taking over Almería-ESP. The team is bottom of La Liga, with just three points in eight rounds — it has accumulated three draws and five defeats at the start of the championship.
< b>Dorival Júnior
Fired at the end of the 2022 season, after the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores titles, Dorival was another coach who preferred to take a sabbatical before starting work on another club. He left Flamengo in November and took over São Paulo in April — after Vitor Pereira had already been fired. In six months in charge of the São Paulo tricolor, he was champion of the Copa do Brasil, precisely over the red-black team. In the Brasileirão, the team occupies 10th place in the table, and reached the quarter-finals of the South American Championship, losing the place on penalties to LDU.
Paulo Sousa< /p>
Portuguese Paulo Sousa spent just four months at Flamengo, taking over from the beginning of Carioca and staying until the 10th round of the Brasileirão. With insignificant results, he was fired after four months, and, like the other technicians, he also took a period off after working in the red and black. In February this year, he took over Salernitana-ITA, and finished in 15th place in Serie A. He remains in the team for the 2023/24 season.
Renato Gaúcho
The runner-up finish in the 2021 Libertadores final was Renato Gaúcho's last commitment at Flamengo. He only went back to work in September 2022, starting his fourth job at Grêmio, 10 rounds before the end of Series B. Renato took over the team in third place and finished runner-up. This year, he won the Recopa Gaúcha, the Campeonato Gaúcho and led the team to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, when they were eliminated by Jorge Sampaoli's Flamengo. In the Brazilian Championship, he is in third place and is one of the "hunters" of the leader Botafogo.
Rogério Ceni
Rogério Ceni was one of the only coaches who lasted more than six months in office and ended his tenure with impressive titles. He took over the red-black team in October 2020 and left in July 2021, and has on his resume the achievements of the Brasileirão, the Supercup and the Campeonato Carioca. After three months out, he returned to São Paulo and stayed in the position from October 2021 to March 2023, but was fired after the first round of the Brazilian Championship. He took over Bahia three weeks ago, after the fall of Renato Paiva, and so far has one win and two defeats in the Brasileirão.
Domènec Torrent
Spaniard Domènec Torrent was chosen for the difficult mission of taking over Flamengo after the departure of multi-champion Jorge Jesus. The result was not positive: he only spent three months in the position, in one of his first experiences as a head coach — in Europe, he spent time at big clubs, but in the role of assistant coach. He stayed from August to October 2020, and only started playing again more than a year later, in January 2022. Dome only stayed at Galatasaray for four months, leaving in June 2022, and is currently without a club.

Jorge Jesus
The "mister", who to this day is still being speculated about in the red and black, had a spell at Flamengo that ended with more titles than defeats. But his subsequent work was not so successful: he finished two seasons with Benfica, between 2020/21 and 2021/22, without titles. He then went to Fenerbahçe, where he won the Turkish Cup, but left the team under criticism from the fans. Since July, he has been at Al Hilal, and reached the final of the Arab Cup, but lost to Al-Nassr 2-1, and today the team is at the top of the Saudi Championship.
Abel Braga
The first coach chosen by Rodolfo Landim for the position, in 2019, Abel Braga spent four months at Flamengo, from January to May, marked by controversies. The coach resigned from his position, waiving the termination fine, after disagreements with the club's directors, in a short spell, which ended with the Florida Cup and Carioca titles. After leaving Flamengo, he played for Vasco, Cruzeiro, Internacional, and Lugano, in Switzerland, before retiring at Fluminense in 2022. That year, he won the Campeonato Carioca — over Flamengo — and in December, he took on the role of technical director of Vasco.

Negotiated with Roma in this transfer window , right-back Wesley said goodbye to Flamengo to fulfill his dream of playing in European football. And his debut with the new shirt took place this Thursday (31) , in a friendly against Cannes (FRA), where the Brazilian had a standout performance.
Wesley came on at halftime and played the entire second half . Despite playing only 45 minutes, the former Flamengo player led the team in tackles and duels won, earning praise from the Italian fans. Roma won the game 3-0, with goals from Ferguson, Dovbyk, and El Shaarawy.
Roma paid €25 million (approximately R$162 million) for Wesley, but the fee could reach €30 million (R$194 million) , depending on whether he meets the contractual milestones. Discovered by Flamengo , the full-back played 139 matches for the club, scoring four goals and providing six assists. After a patchy start, he ended his career as a regular starter and a fan favorite.
To fill Wesley's shoes, Flamengo went to the transfer market and signed Emerson Royal, formerly of AC Milan. The club invested €9 million (approximately R$58 million) for the 26-year-old full-back , who signed a three-and-a-half-year contract until December 2028. The player has already started training at Ninho do Urubu and is now part of the squad.
Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (03), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Ceará , at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere. Mengão is the leader of the Brasileirão with 36 points and has one game less than the runner-up, Cruzeiro.
The Colombian is expected to be a key reinforcement for Filipe Luís's team, but bureaucratic issues with the Russian club have postponed his official presentation.

Colombian Jorge Carrascal, Flamengo's new signing, has not yet been officially presented to the fans, but he was present at Maracanã this Thursday (1), during the match against Atlético in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The player watched the match from one of the stadium's boxes, while awaiting the completion of the regularization process with Dynamo Moscow, his former club.
Carrascal was initially expected to be presented at the stadium itself, but the Russian club still has some pending bureaucratic procedures. Due to the six-hour time difference between Brazil and Russia, the documents needed to complete the signing didn't arrive in time.
Despite this, the athlete has already passed the medical exams carried out throughout the day, which indicates that the officialization of the link should happen during the afternoon of this Friday (01) . Colombian arrives to be an option to Arrascaeta at Flamengo .
At 26, Carrascal arrives as a key player in the coaching staff's planning . He can play both as a central midfielder and on the wings, offering versatility to the squad.
The club paid around €12 million (equivalent to R$77.5 million) to acquire the player from Dynamo Moscow. Due to the contractual dispute, the Colombian will only be able to make his debut after the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil.
Negotiations between the club's executives and the Russian club took over a month to complete. The initial proposal needed to be adjusted regarding the payment method before it was finally accepted by Dynamo.
The 24-year-old Argentine, who previously prioritized staying in Europe, is beginning to open up to the Rubro-Negro's proposal after progress in negotiations between the clubs.

Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltrán has begun to reconsider the possibility of playing for Flamengo. Initially, the 24-year-old Argentine showed no interest in returning to South American football, focusing on continuing his career in Europe. However, with the agreement reached between the clubs, the player is now considering the chance to wear the Sacred Mantle with new eyes .
According to Italian news outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Beltrán is now analyzing the Rio de Janeiro club's offer more closely. Flamengo , for its part, has already agreed on terms with Fiorentina: a fixed fee of €12 million, plus €3 million for targets to be met, totaling a €15 million deal—approximately R$95 million at the current exchange rate.
With the deal agreed upon between the clubs, Rubro-Negro is now trying to convince the player to accept the transfer . According to the newspaper O Dia, a meeting is scheduled with the player's representatives in the coming days. The expectation is that the sports project will be enough to sway Beltrán and secure his arrival in Rio.
In the presented project, the club highlights its sporting prominence, international visibility, recent titles, and the competitiveness of its squad. Mengão 's strong performance in the market, having recently signed players like Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Saúl Ñíguez, is one of the assets used to demonstrate that Brazilian football is attracting talent that previously prioritized the European continent.
The possibility of competing for major titles and playing for a club with a massive fan base and sporting ambition weighs heavily in favor of the striker's decision. Currently at Fiorentina, a mid-sized team in Italy, Beltrán isn't enjoying a moment of prominence . At Flamengo, he would have a place in one of the strongest teams in South America, which offers top-notch infrastructure and constant competition for national and continental titles.
