After a long negotiation, turning into a soap opera, Flamengo and Tite finally reached an agreement at the beginning of last week. With that, the coach, who has already started working at the club and with the squad, held his first press conference this Monday afternoon. Among other matters, the red-and-black coach showed knowledge of the club's history.
In addition, the coach joked about Fla's 'golden generation' at the time when he was still a player.
"By more than programming what should be done, information is always captured. One that captures me more is when I played against Flamengo. There was Adílio, Andrade, zico and then take it off. I'm glad I didn't get zico, and lico. Apart from Nunes, edimar and others. This composition was Júnior and Leandro, and I was in Portuguese at the time, how much I ran after them," he declared, before concluding:
I talk about this because I know the greatness, the history and what the fans want to see from this team. How committed I will be to participating and transmitting this joy to the fans. It's a great pride and responsibility - concluded Tite, in a press conference.
Tite arrives at Flamengo surrounded by expectations. This is because, the former coach of the Brazilian National Team in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, brings the weight of having won all possible titles at the head of a club.
