DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PRESIDENT OF FLAMENGO? BANDEIRA DE MELLO RECEIVES TRIBUTE WHILE LANDIM IS CRITICIZED

One of Flamengo's supporters paid tribute to the former president, Bandeira de Mello. The former director marked the history of Mengão for being in charge of the club between 2013 and 2018, receiving a lot of affection from the Rubro-Negra Nation to this day. Among its biggest milestones at Mais Querido, the financial restructuring of the institution stands out.


Torcida Fla P.U, located in the Parque União neighborhood, North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, paid tribute to Eduardo Bandeira de Mello. According to organizers, the Flamengo player was one of the greatest in the club's history. The group created a 'banner' with the image of the current federal deputy. The central reference of the flag was the former leader holding a Libertadores da América cup.


Bandeira de Mello was the mastermind behind Flamengo's financial restructuring. When he took over the club in 2013, the former president came with the main objective of clearing the debts and, with that, starting to gain cash flow in the near future. And that's what happened. Even though he leaves the position of the club's leader, Eduardo is always mentioned by most of the Red and Black fans.


Rodolfo Landim, on the other hand, barely supports himself at Flamengo. The current president of Mais Querido has had a difficult time, especially when it comes to popular opinion of his work. With many crises, the red and black team has been suffering from a loss of football performance, and many blame Landim for not knowing how to manage things and conflicts.

Furthermore, it is interesting to remember that he is largely responsible for Jorge Sampaoli remaining as the team's coach. Most of the fans are not happy with the decision and ask for his departure from the club. The only thing that could ease - even slightly - the tensions is for the squad to win the Copa do Brasil trophy this Sunday (24). The game against São Paulo starts at 4pm (Brasília time).

Despite his short career as a professional coach, Filipe Luís continues to attract attention from around the world for his work at Flamengo. Last week, Fenerbahçe (TUR) attempted to sign him , but both the Rio de Janeiro club and the manager rejected the offer .


José Boto on Fenerbahçe's proposal for Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "this is not a bank"


In an interview with UOL, football director José Boto revealed the behind-the-scenes story behind the Turkish move: "Last week, he had the option of leaving the club. I know this because the president of Fenerbahçe called me asking how much money Flamengo wanted to release Filipe Luís . I replied that this isn't a bank. We had no intention of selling him. The club even offered more than the contractual fine, but he didn't want to go. He didn't want to abandon this project."


FENERBAHÇE CONTINUES ON ITS PATH AND ANNOUNCES ANOTHER COACH

With negotiations unsuccessful, Fenerbahçe looked at other options. After José Mourinho's departure on August 29, the Turkish club explored several options, including Filipe Luís , but ultimately agreed on Domenico Tedesco last week . Thus, the red-and-black fans can breathe a sigh of relief at the prospect of a new European push.


FILIPE LUÍS'S CAREER AS A COACH

Filipe Luís is about to complete a year in charge of Flamengo . The coach took over the team on September 30, 2024, after Tite's dismissal, and has since collected titles: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, and Supercopa do Brasil . The coach has played 65 games, with 43 wins, 16 draws, and only six losses, consolidating one of the club's most consistent campaigns in recent years.

NEXT CHALLENGE IN THE LIBERTADORES

Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, begins this Thursday (18) the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores against Estudiantes (ARG) . The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
