Bap's first action as president

The choice of José Boto for the football board is Bap's main move so far. The Portuguese director, currently at Osijek (Croatia), is the favorite to take on the role and will be responsible for football management red and black.


José Boto has experience in the European market, having worked in the scouting department b> from Benfica, where he gained prominence for identifying talents. The expectation is that he will work in partnership with coach Filipe Luís to strengthen the squad and lead the next transfer windows.

Luiz Eduardo Baptista begins his term with promises to strengthen the Flamengo without depending on external investors, restructure the squad with focus in commitment, bringing historical idols closer to management and starting the construction of our own stadium. His direct style and management strategies will be decisive for Rubro-Negro's coming years.
