On the night of last Wednesday (15), Brazil has lost one of the biggest names in the history of radio sports. Washington Luiz, known as Apolinho, passed away. Declared red-black, the radio host will be laid to rest at Flamengo's headquarters, as a tribute.

“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the body of Washington Rodrigues, Apolinho, will be laid to rest this Thursday- fair (16), from noon, at the club's headquarters, in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro.”


Washington Luiz is one of the biggest names in sports communication in the country and quickly stood out as a radio reporter. He ran the 'Show do Apolinho', on Rádio Tupi, since 1999. He was the great creator of well-known catchphrases such as “Fight of Big Dog” and “Pau com Formiga”.


Apolinho was fighting aggressive cancer in the liver and died at the age of 87. The radio host was admitted to the Samaritano Hospital. A Flamengo fan at heart, Washington Luiz watched the Flamengo game before leaving, and saw three of the four goals in the rout of Bolívar, in the Copa Libertadores da América.

It is also worth remembering that the radio presenter came to being coach of Flamengo, his favorite team, in 1995. He led the team for 26 matches, securing 11 wins, eight draws and seven defeats. He returned to the club in 98 as technical director of football
