Tite, Flamengo's renowned coach, has stood out not only for his innovative tactics and strategic vision in football, but also for his unique ability to connect with his players. He is someone who has talked to us more on a daily basis, has a more open heart, and that makes all the difference. In a sport where communication and understanding between player and coach are fundamental, Tite stands out as a master of this art.
Tite is not limited to just being a coach; he is a mentor and a friend to his players. And, in fact, it is not just a professional relationship, but a relationship that transcends the four lines of the football field. The coach has been a confidant, an advisor and, often, a shoulder to lean on for Flamengo's athletes. They are different people, different countries, and he has passed on all the experience he has acquired throughout his career.
This human aspect of Tite's leadership has been essential to Flamengo's success. Her ability to communicate effectively and empathetically has helped unite a multicultural cast, ensuring everyone is on the same page regardless of their backgrounds and native languages. Maracanã, the scene of so many memorable football moments, has been a witness to Tite's words and actions. In interviews in the mixed zone of the stadium, the coach demonstrates his passion for the game and the club. He emphasizes the importance of teamwork, highlighting the need for solidarity in the field. Tite often states: "When one goes, another stays", a philosophy that inspires his players to support each other unconditionally.
Tite's vision of the game goes beyond the tactical aspect. He understands that to be successful, it is essential that his players are united, not just physically but also mentally. He encourages cohesion between players, both in midfield and on the wings. Wesley and Ayrton, for example, are instructed by Tite to support each other, covering for each other. This strategic approach not only strengthens the defense, but also allows Flamengo to attack with more freedom and confidence.
Thiago Maia, one of the players in the squad, praises Tite's performance. In his words, "He's a guy who talks to us a lot during the day. They're different people, different countries, and he's had all the experience he has. Thank God it's worked out. He always says 'when someone goes, another stays'. Whether in the middle or with Wesley and Ayrton on the sides. He always asks one to cover the other so that we can be lighter on the field."
This effective communication and this approach centered on human beings have been fundamental to Flamengo's successful trajectory under Tite's command. He has not only built a talented team, but also a family of players united by a common goal: the pursuit of triumph in every competition they enter. In addition to his skills as a coach, Tite is an example of how empathy and understanding can be powerful leadership tools. As Flamengo continues to shine on the sporting scene, much is due to the presence and positive influence of this coach that goes beyond game tactics. He is a true communicator, a mentor and a motivator, and his legacy at the club is already inscribed in the history of Brazilian football. With Tite at the helm, Flamengo continues to inspire not only with its masterful plays, but also with its unity and solidarity.

Brazilian coach rules out leaving for Turkey, remains focused on the Mais Querido project and should sign a new contract renewal soon
13 Set 2025 | 16:18 |
As initially revealed by journalists Rodrigo Mattos and Bruno Braz, Turkey's Fenerbahçe presented an official proposal to Filipe Luís's staff following José Mourinho's dismissal. The Turkish team positively evaluated the Brazilian coach's work and signaled financial compensation.
However, Filipe Luís quickly decided not to accept the offer. The board, led by Bap, along with the football department led by José Boto, acted behind the scenes to prevent the coach's loss.
After a year at the helm, Filipe Luís has won titles, worked consistently, and maintained a firm stance in leading the team. One of the most talked-about cases was Pedro's, which the coach resolved efficiently , reinforcing his internal management capabilities.
According to Mônica Alves, the Rio de Janeiro club has already submitted a contract renewal proposal to Filipe Luís. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. Initially, the new contract will last for one more season, with the possibility of a two-year extension. Despite the financial compensation offered by Fenerbahçe, the coach preferred to continue working in Rio de Janeiro.
While negotiating the renewal, Rubro-Negro prepares for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A. Flamengo faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
After a turbulent departure to Zenit, Gerson faces difficulties in Russia, is left out of the national team and has his return to Mengão ruled out by the board
13 Set 2025 | 16:06 |
After the Club World Cup, Flamengo sold Gerson to Zenit St. Petersburg for €25 million. The deal was mired in controversy: the Rio de Janeiro board was angered by the player's and his agent's behavior during the negotiations. As a result, the midfielder was removed from the club's digital museum, a move that caused a stir on social media.
Gerson isn't in great form at Zenit . He was left out of the Brazilian national team's last call-up and has only played six matches in the current Russian Championship. Behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the player is unhappy with his situation in Russian football.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Gerson has not requested a return to Mengão and intends to turn things around at Zenit , where he has a contract until mid-2030. The same investigation indicates that Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP), president of the club's Board of Directors, does not consider opening the door for the number 8's return.
While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, the Mais Querido board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals . José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.
Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.
