Every player dreams of one day wearing Flamengo's Sacred Mantle. Outside the four lines, this desire is also shared by coaches. In a recent interview, Geninho, Brazilian champion coach with Athletico-PR in 2001, revealed that he felt he lacked commanding Flamengo to end his career with a "golden key".

During his participation in the Mesa Redonda program, on TV Gazeta, Geninho was asked which club he would like to have coached, but he didn't have the opportunity. His response was immediate: Flamengo.

Although he never coached the Rio club, Geninho had the opportunity to manage Petkovic, a great Flamengo idol. He revealed that the Serbian was the best player he worked with. The two played together in 1998 at Vitória, during the midfielder's first stint in Brazilian football, and met again in 2004, at Vasco, and in 2008, at Atlético-MG.

Geninho's main achievements


In addition to the 2001 Brasileirão title with Athletico-PR, Geninho also won the 2003 Campeonato Paulista with Corinthians. The coach's resume also includes two state titles for Rio Grande do Norte, one from Pernambucano, one from Catarinense and one Copa do Nordeste.


Currently, Geninho has been without a club since 2022, when he coached Vitória. Throughout his career, in addition to stints at teams such as Vasco and Botafogo, the coach managed Santos and Corinthians in São Paulo, and Atlético-MG in Minas Gerais. Much of his career was with teams in the Northeast, Central-West and Santa Catarina

Flamengo's season is still running and it seems that Rubro-Negro has not been able to manage all competitions well. This last Sunday (22), Mais Querido lost to Grêmio 3-2 and found themselves further away from the Brasileirão leader, Botafogo. Asked about the team's intentions in the competition, Tite detailed the planning during the national tournament sequence.

"I learned at Flamengo that we have to compete for everything. This is unquestionable. In fact, the pressure is on because of the club's greatness. It's natural. And it's always like that. The job will only be accepted if it has a great title. We have a plan and end up redirecting according to needs. Now it won't be every ten or every game. We're going to adjust from game to game", concluded Tite, in a press conference.


FLAMENGO'S SITUATION

Flamengo's situation this season is not favorable. This is because, despite being alive in three competitions, Mais Querido has not been playing good football and is at risk of leaving the Libertadores, as they lost to Peñarol in the first leg and will have to decide their place in Uruguay. Furthermore, Rubro-Negro is stuck in fourth place in the Brasileirão, with just 45 points won.

DECISION NEXT THURSDAY

Now, the Flamengo's squad focuses on the big decision against Peñarol, in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Mais Querido returns to the field next Thursday (26), at 7pm, in Uruguay. Remembering that Rubro-Negro needs to reverse the 1-0 score to qualify for the semi-finals.
