Coach Tite accepted Flamengo's proposal this Tuesday afternoon (03). Therefore, the former commander of the Brazilian national team will lead the club later this year, starting during the Data - FIFA. Furthermore, the coach becomes another one who commands the Seleção and then Rubro Negro.
Tite becomes the 8th to achieve the feat, in a list that begins in 1951. Flávio Costa, shortly after commanding the Brazilian National Team of "Maracanaço", returned to Flamengo. The coach had already commanded Mais Querido between 1934 and 1937. Furthermore, he returned both to the national team in 1956 and to Rubro Negro in 1962, in his third spell.
Aymoré Moreira coached Flamengo in 1967, but stayed for a short time . He was World Champion in 1962. The coach returned to the Brazilian team that same year, in his third spell with "Canarinho". Aymoré was unable to win titles with Rubro Negro.
Zagallo was also one of those who coached the Brazilian team and Rubro Negro. The coach took over Mais Querido in 1972, when he made his first spell at the club. The "Velho Lobo" returned two more times: in 1984 and 2000. While he was three-times Carioca champion in 53-54-55 as a player, as a coach, Zagallo won the state championship twice and a Champions Cup.
After Zagallo, Telê Santana was another emblematic coach in Brazilian football who coached Rubro Negro. He was in charge of Mais Querido in 1988, after his second stint with the Brazilian team, in 1986. Despite this, Telê only won one Guanabara Cup, in 89.
Evaristo de Macedo is a Rubro Negro idol and coached Flamengo and the Brazilian team. However, he was never on the sidelines during the World Cup. Evaristo's time with the national team was in 1985. He coached Mais Querido on three occasions: 1993 - 95, 98 - 99 and 2002 - 03.
Vanderlei Luxemburgo is also on the list of those who led the national team and Flamengo. The coach's time at "Canarinho" was from 1998 until 2000, winning a Copa América. He returned to Mais Querido 10 years later, in his third stint as coach.
The last coach before Tite to command the Brazilian team and Rubro Negro, Mano Menezes was in the team from 2010 to 2012, being fired even though he had good numbers with Amarelinha. He took over Mais Querido in 2013, but was fired after a sequence of bad results, giving way to Jayme de Almeida, who was champion of the Copa do Brasil that year.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
