Tite is Flamengo's newest coach, as the club announced on Monday night (09). The expectation is that the coach will go to Ninho do Urubu this Tuesday (10) to lead his first training session, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time). And he won't be the only newcomer in CT! This is because the former coach of the Brazilian team brought with him five professionals from the technical area of football. Some even accompanied him at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. In total, there are three assistants, a physical trainer and an analyst: Matheus Bachi: Assistant
Tite's eldest son, the professional was fundamental for the coach's arrival at Flamengo this season, since his initial plan was to talk to Brazilian clubs from 2024 onwards. At 34 years old, Matheus has been following his father since 2015, when they were still at Corinthians.
In the Brazilian team, the young man started working in the analysis area, but then began to appear more frequently on the sidelines, giving guidance to the players.
Matheus has a CBF Pro license and has already said he wants to have his own career as a coach in the future. It is interesting to analyze that, while they were in the Brazilian team, the head coach was often accused of nepotism.
César Sampaio: AssistantFormer player of the Brazilian National Team, César was runner-up with the 'hopscotch' in the 1998 World Cup. The club in which he had the most prominence was Palmeiras, where they won a Libertadores and two Brazilians. Furthermore, he played for other greats, such as São Paulo and La Coruña (ESP).
Sampaio began working with Tite in the final stretch of preparation for the 2022 World Cup. The former athlete has a Pro license granted by the CBF Academy. In fact, it was on the course that the two met.
Cleber Xavier: AssistantCleber arrived at the Tite team before everyone else. He and the coach have worked together since 2001, when they won the Copa do Brasil with Grêmio. Since then, there have been 13 more titles in more than 20 years together.
His experience as a technical committee employee goes beyond the activities carried out with the coach. He went through the youth categories of Internacional and Grêmio itself. He has a degree in Physical Education since 1994, in the city of Porto Alegre.
Fábio Mahseredjian: Physical TrainerA professional in his specialization since the 80s, Fábio played for Flamengo before Tite, in 2003, and even reached the Brazilian team before him. He took up his role as physical trainer for the Brazil team shortly before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Lucas Oliveira: Market AnalystEx-Palmeiras, the analyst is the new 'hotshot' on Tite's team. Lucas left Verdão with the intention of joining the coach's committee at Flamengo, having been on Abel Ferreira's team since 2020, with the role of observing potential signings.
However, he has known the coach since the last World Cup, when he worked as a technical observer. Furthermore, he has played for Grêmio, Athletico-PR and Ludogorets (Belgium) and played for Brazilian youth teams.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
The teams will face each other next Wednesday (31), at Maracanã
