Flamengo is going through a delicate moment in the 2024 season. Under the command of Tite, the team faces increasing pressure both due to recent results and the dissatisfaction of the fans. Expectations of titles, always high at the club, were frustrated by the disadvantage in the Libertadores and the significant distance from the leader of the Brazilian Championship. Even so, Flamengo's board maintains the strategy of continuing Tite's work until the end of the year, in December, thus avoiding another change of coach, something that, according to internal evaluation, has harmed the team's stability. .
Flamengo's recent history has been marked by a series of changes in technical command. In just the last few years, the club has changed coaches several times, always in search of immediate results and with the weight of the great achievements of the recent past, such as the Libertadores and Brasileirão titles in 2019, which further raised the level of demand for the club. fans and the board. Since Jorge Jesus left in 2020, Flamengo has not found a coach who could remain in the role for the long term, even though some have shown good temporary results.
A SCREAMING DIFFERENCE IN COMPETITIONS
The arrival of Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, was seen with great expectation. His successful CV, including work at Corinthians and experience at the World Cup, gave hope that he would be the right name to resume Flamengo's protagonism on the national and international stage. However, the results under his command have been below expectations so far, which has led to growing dissatisfaction, especially among fans, who do not forgive the recent stumbles.
Elimination or a bad campaign in the Libertadores is always a hard blow for Flamengo. The continental tournament is seen as a priority by the club and its fans, mainly due to the obsession with repeating the achievements of 1981 and 2019. This year, Flamengo was unable to maintain the expected performance and finds itself at a disadvantage in the final stages of the competition. This scenario further increased the pressure on Tite and the players.
In the Brazilian Championship, the situation is also far from ideal. Flamengo is currently a considerable distance from the leader of the competition. This situation practically makes the fight for the title impossible, which means that the 2024 season is close to being considered a failure for the club, if a significant turnaround does not occur.

In a surprising move, Sportingbet, the bookmaker that already features on Palmeiras' shirt, is set to take over as Flamengo's master sponsor . The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).
According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.
The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.
With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
