Coach Tite, who was previously considered "untouchable" in Flamengo is now facing a moment of high pressure and instability in the position. According to information obtained by GOAL, the coach has lost prestige internally, and the continuity of his work will directly depend on the results in the next clashes. Despite the delicate scenario, an exit before the game against Athletico Paranaense, on Sunday, at Maracanã, is considered unlikely. On Wednesday (2), Rubro-Negro will face Corinthians in the first match of the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, which could be decisive for Tite's stay.
Dissatisfaction with the team's performance team is not new and began to emerge even before the last FIFA Date. At that time, the board was still trying to understand the causes of the lower-than-expected performance and considered that the physical fatigue of the athletes and the sequence of difficult games were the main factors. However, after the break, an improvement in the team's performance was expected, but the elimination against Peñarol, upon returning to competition, frustrated these expectations. The defeat to the Uruguayan team was a hard blow, especially because the board sees this competition as the most important on the red and black calendar. With that, the warning signal was turned on once and for all.
FLAMENGO AND TITE NO LONGER SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE
In addition to the problems on the field, < href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/arbitragem-de-flamengo-x-corinthians-esta-definida" target="_blank">Flamengois experiencing a moment of uncertainty outside the four lines. The club's presidential elections are scheduled for the beginning of December, and the scenario is completely open. Football-related issues have dominated discussions between the candidates, and the recent poor results put even more pressure on the current situation, led by Rodolfo Landim. Rodrigo Dunshee, current vice-president and current candidate, will be officially presented as head of the ticket next Monday (30).
The electoral campaign within Flamengo brings an additional challenge for Tite, as that the team's performance will have a direct impact on Dunshee's prospects as a candidate. Negative results could undermine internal support and complicate the dispute. On the other hand, a positive performance in the next games could give new impetus to both Tite and Dunshee's team, as victories against strong opponents, such as Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil, could change the general perception and reduce the pressure .
Despite this scenario, there is a strong movement behind the scenes, with supporters of Landim and Dunshee calling for Tite's immediate departure. For this group, the dismissal now would have a positive impact and would show a change of direction in the management of the team, which could be explored as an asset during the electoral period. However, a decision like this would also bring risks, especially at a time when Flamengo is about to begin a decisive phase in the Copa do Brasil, one of the few titles left in the season.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
