After Flamengo qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, coach Tite recognized the team's disadvantage at the start of the knockout stage. After all, having entered second place in Group E, the team will have to decide their classification away from home, against a technically stronger opponent who will be one of the leaders of the eight groups.

Still, he punctuated the long sequence of matches, which ended up making the difference in the team's performance. Furthermore, he highlighted that he has full confidence that Flamengo is capable of beating any opponent, even if they need to define their lives away from Maracanã.


“We had a sequence of nine accumulated games and two, three days with games, weren't there? So, if we keep talking like that, it seems like it's the justification for a situation that we don't want. There is a downside, yes. We wanted to decide in our house, we wanted to be the first. But now, the team has enough quality, technical and mental capacity to decide at home or away”, said Tite.


Flamengo's opponent in the round of 16 of the Libertadores will only be known in June, after a draw. What is certain is that it will be against a group leader, which could lead to a repeat meeting with Bolívar or even the 2021 final, in a draw against Palmeiras. There is also the possibility of clashing with Fluminense, champion of their bracket, in the first round.

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.

Tite took over Flamengo on October 9, 2023, after Jorge Sampaoli left. The former Brazilian national team coach signed a contract until the end of 2024, but his departure comes three months ahead of schedule.



During his time in charge of Flamengo, Tite accumulated 70 matches, totaling 41 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats. Under his management, the team scored 109 goals and conceded 50. He also led the team to win the Campeonato Carioca undefeated.



Despite a promising start, Flamengo's performances under Tite's command did not please the majority of the fans. The team, which led the Brasileirão for a few rounds, began to oscillate and currently occupies fourth place with 48 points, nine behind leader Botafogo, who has 57.


Elimination in the Libertadores

Three-time champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo entered the 2024 edition as one of the favorites and top seed in Group E. However, the performance of the team in the group stage fell below expectations, resulting in a second-place finish. In the round of 16, Flamengo beat Bolívar (BOL) 2-1 on aggregate, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after being defeated by Peñarol (URU) without managing to score a goal.

< br> Departure of the Technical Committee

In addition to Tite, the entire technical committee is also leaving Flamengo. Among the professionals leaving the club are assistants Cleber Xavier, Matheus Bachi, César Sampaio and Vinícius Bergantin, physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and performance analyst Lucas Oliveira.
