The Flamengo is in an advanced stage of negotiations for the construction of its own stadium, a project that has the direct support of the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes. The municipal representative has been committed to pressuring Caixa Econômica Federal for the sale of the Gasologista land, located in the city's port area, which is the intended location for the red-negro club's new arena.
Eduardo Paes used his social networks to detail the actions that the city hall has adopted to facilitate negotiations. In a publication, Paes highlighted the measures taken, such as the city hall's willingness to transfer the Certificates of Additional Construction Potential (CEPACs) to another area, in addition to mentioning the forgiveness of a historic debt of 4 billion reais to assist the operation of the Caixa Econômica Federal.
In the post, Paes stated: “City Hall has already said that it will transfer CEPACs to another area. We have already forgiven a debt of 4 billion (historical value) to help the CEF operation. As we did with my Vascão, we are also willing to transfer constructive potential to Flamengo. We are talking about a heritage of Rio and Brazil (as much as this irritates me as a Basque fan) and which absurdly does not have its own stadium.”
Paes emphasized that the construction of its own stadium for Flamengo is not just a demand from the club, but an appreciation for the region where the project will be carried out, citing as an example the renovation of São Januário, Vasco da Gama's stadium. “The proposed development values the region. Just like Saint Januário renewed! It's a long time of conversation (since the Bolsonaro government) for a sale without any favors. Those who are providing the conditions for the account to be closed are the people of Rio through their city hall”, he declared.
Negotiations for the purchase of the land from Gasologista have been going on for a few years, having been started during the government of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Paes expressed frustration with the delay in resolving the process, noting that for three years he has been reinforcing the same message about the importance of speeding up the sale of the land to allow the city of Rio de Janeiro to move forward. “Let’s get things moving. I've been saying the same thing for 3 years. Let's resolve it and allow the city to move forward”, concluded the mayor in his post on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter).

Filipe Luís took over as Flamengo's interim coach after Tite's dismissal, made official this Monday (30). The red-and-black idol, who was in his first year as a coach leading the club's under-20s, becomes the third interim in Rodolfo Landim's management since Jorge Jesus' departure. Before him, Maurício Souza and Mário Jorge took over the main team on a provisional basis. Below, the history of both.
Like Filipe, the interims who took charge of the professional team were also base coaches. With the frequent change of coaches at Flamengo, which is already in its ninth coach since the departure of Jorge Jesus, the commanders of the youth categories need to always be ready to be called upon. Those who held the position temporarily in recent years managed to maintain a good performance.
Maurício Souza, known as Mauricinho, was the first interim member of the post-Jorge Jesus era. He was announced after Domenec Torrent's dismissal in 2020, but did not manage the team, as Rogério Ceni was hired shortly afterwards. However, Mauricinho had the opportunity to lead Flamengo in 2021, after Ceni's departure, achieving important victories over Ceará and Chapecoense. He was also called up at the end of the Brasileirão for the last four games, achieving one victory, one draw and two defeats.
In an interim period, Maurício led the team while Rogério Ceni recovered from Covid-19 , adding three victories in that period. His numbers as interim coach were:
9 games
6 wins
1 draw
2 losses
70.3% success rate
11 goals scored
6 goals conceded
Mário JorgeMário Jorge, multiple champion at Flamengo's academy, was called up twice in 2023 to take over the main team. After Vitor Pereira's dismissal, he led Flamengo in two matches, with a defeat in the Copa do Brasil against Maringá and a victory in the Brasileirão against Coritiba. In a second moment, after Sampaoli's departure and before Tite's arrival, Mário Jorge led the team in the victory over Bahia and in the draw against Corinthians, both in the Brasileirão.
His interim numbers were :
4 games
2 wins
1 draw
1 loss
58.3% success rate
5 goals scored
3 goals conceded
Now, Filipe Luís will have the opportunity to lead Flamengo in a decisive phase, with the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil against Corinthians ahead.
The greatest player in the club's history believes that the coach did not adapt to Mais Querido

Monday (30) began with the announcement of the dismissal of coach Tite from Flamengo, news expected after the elimination in the Libertadores and the team's poor performance, which generated increasing pressure among fans. The relationship with the fans is one of the aspects that made Zico, the greatest idol in red and black history, believe that the coach's departure was the most logical decision.
Zico held the 15th edition of Café com Zico in this Monday, at Bar do Zico, at Recreio dos Bandeirantes, an event where fans have the opportunity to spend the morning with their idol and ask questions. One of the questions was about Tite's dismissal. Despite praising the coach and regretting his departure, the eternal Shirt 10 recognized that the decision was correct.
“I think today it is easy to say that it should have been. The weather is no longer cool. Working in a place where people antagonize you and say a lot of things is not good for anyone. I'm sorry that happened, because I really liked him, I think he's a good coach. But perhaps he didn't adapt to Flamengo's style”, said Zico.
Although Zico recognized the unsatisfactory football presented by the team, he highlighted that Flamengo still remained alive in competitions. However, the fall in the Libertadores was a determining factor in the change, especially due to the defeat at home, which he compared to the elimination in 1982.
“Flamengo beat Carioca, they are in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil , he has a small chance at the Brazilian Championship and reached the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Of course, the Maracanã defeat was decisive. He missed goals, more at Maracanã than there. It was the same thing that happened to us in 82. We massacred, in front of the goal every time, but we conceded a missing goal that didn't exist and we were eliminated”, said Galinho de Quintino in a video released by Essência Rubro-Negra.
Criticism of the Overvaluation of the Cast
Zico also criticized the overvaluation of the red and black cast, which he believes to be an exaggerated view, especially on the part of the board, who invests heavily in players who, in the idol’s opinion, are “common.” He was emphatic in stating that he does not share the idea that the squad is the best in South America.
“Flamengo, in my opinion, hired the wrong team. Many players. You're spending money on normal players. Are they good? Yes, but the price had to be great. They are not. They overvalued Flamengo's squad too much, they made the fans believe that it was the best team in South America. It's not! That's the problem. The fans think they will always win 3 or 4, but those of us who play ball know that the story is different”, added Gávea's eternal number 10.

Last Tuesday, the candidate for re-election for mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, denied the journalist Ancelmo Gois, from Globo. In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.
